Western Cape police have offered a R100,000 reward for information that could lead to the arrest and successful conviction of the man who shot and killed a British doctor in Cape Town in 2023.
The doctor was on holiday with his family and on the way to Cape Town International Airport when their vehicle’s GPS rerouted them through Nyanga.
While driving on Ntlangano Road, a suspect approached the vehicle and shot Teoh in the head.
At the time, Teoh’s family claimed that as the surgeon was dying, police did very little to help him. The family said the officers who arrived at the scene asked what had happened but refused to call an ambulance, all the while Teoh was fighting for his life.
“We pleaded with them,” said Sara. “We said that he is a doctor. He saves lives. Please help him. He’s a good man. One even suggested we drive Kar Hao to the nearest hospital ourselves.”
His wife further claimed that the officers just “walked away, and continued chatting amongst themselves”. Sadly, it took an hour for an ambulance to arrive at the scene, by which time Mr Teoh was dead.
The doctor, Kar Hao Teoh, was a Trauma and Orthopaedics specialist who worked as a surgeon at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Essex.
Spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Malcolm Pojie says police have also offered a reward of R50,000 to find the suspects who shot and killed the principal of Ekutheleni Primary School in Kraaifontein in January this year.
Pojie says Mr Sigudla and his wife stopped in front of the school when they were accosted by two suspects, one of whom pulled out a firearm and shot the deceased multiple times.
His wife was wounded in her arm. Nothing was taken, and the suspects fled on foot.
