South Africa- A father of two is currently fighting for his life after he was shot in the head following an altercation at a lodge in Muldersdrift.
It is believed an altercation occurred at around 16:00 when the rooms of the couples were still not ready.
According to the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) spokesperson Grace Langa, the manager of the lodge requested the Cloete to leave, saying the lodge would refund him, but he allegedly refused.
“The security and manager followed him to his room and requested him to leave. He then became more aggressive.
“Police officers were called to come and assist, further alleged that when the police arrived, the guest started fighting with the police,” Langa said.
She said, according to their information Cloete took a firearm out of the bed drawer and cocked it, and a bullet fell down.
“It is alleged that Cloete disarmed a police officer of his firearm. The guest was in possession of two firearms when another police officer took out his service pistol and shot that man once on the head,” she said.
