Johannesburg - A Booysens policeman was shot dead at the Ruimsig Country Estate in Muldersdrift on Sunday, say Gauteng police.
The 37-year-old policeman had died at his cousin's home at about 02:00, said Captain Siphiwe Ndlovu.
She had called him for help, claiming she was being harassed by a suitor.
When he arrived at the house, she'd pushed him aside and fled to a friend.
According to Ndlovu, the policeman went into the house to try and talk to the man.
But the man became aggressive.
"They wrestled and the suspect apparently grabbed his (the policeman's) service pistol and shot him dead," he said.
The man had been arrested, Ndlovu added.
