MBABANE: Richard Mngometulu, the retired Eswatini Senior Deputy National Police Commissioner who was instrumental in the killing of civilians during the police unrest, has died.
As previously reported by this Swaziland News, Mngometulu who was admitted at the Mbabane Government Hospital where “there’s no medication and/or drugs”, was subsequently transferred to the Intensive Care Unit(ICU).
Efforts to reach Mngometulu’s family proved unsuccessful at the time of compiling this report.
The retired alleged serial, cruel and heartless political murderer who was an ally to ex-National Commissioner Isaac Magagula, suffered stroke after King Mswati refused to renew his contract of employment.
A questionnaire was sent to Superintendent Phindile Vilakati, the Eswatini Police Spokesperson, however, she had not responded at the time of compiling this report.
But when this journalist went undercover and called the Police Headquarters, to verify the information, the police officer who responded to the call, confirmed the death of the retired Senior Deputy National Commissioner.
“Batsi kunjalo”, said the police officer at the Headquarters.
