By Dorette De Swart - 19 September 2014
Murder has increased by five percent in the past year, national police commissioner Riah Phiyega said on Friday (19/09/14).
"We are very concerned about that," she told reporters, announcing crime statistics for the 2013/2014 financial year.
"We are saying murder requires also that society works very closely with us to assist us to achieve a reduction."
Attempted murder went up by 4.6 percent and aggravated robbery was up by 12.7 percent.
