George was taken to the Suddie Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

“Enquiries revealed that the Police Sergeant was at his residence in Onderneeming doing environmental cleaning in and around his residence when he was approached by Patrick George who pulled a zinc sheet from a fence separating his residence from that of the one which the Sergeant was cleaning to gain access and in the process attacked the Sergeant with a cutlass and a piece of metal,” the Force said.
