Arrested and charged with murder, charge is reduced to manslaughter - the reason is obvious.
The man accused of shooting a child while chasing a suspect is an ANC military veteran and former law enforcement official who claims to be a crack shot.
Uriel Abrahamse works for the ANC head office, Luthuli House, in central Johannesburg. He is a deputy general manager and has been a senior figure in the party since the 1990s.
"He is one of our senior officials," was all ANC spokesperson Brian Sokutu would say on Wednesday.
In 2000 Abrahamse worked briefly in municipal law enforcement for the Johannesburg council.
A press report from that period refers to him as the council's chief law enforcement officer. It's understood he was never more than the acting chief and left when he was turned down for the position.
