SA Police says it is investigating an employee’s social media posts, after they allegedly made a post celebrating the assassination of the US right-wing political activist Charlie Kirk.

In a brief statement SAPOL said it was aware of the social media posts. 

“They are now subject to an investigation under the Police Complaints Disciplinary Act,” a spokesperson said.

“No further comment will be made.”

The employee’s Facebook post about Kirk’s death was still live this morning.

Kirk died last week after being shot while speaking at a university campus in the US state of Utah. 

A 22-year-old man has been arrested in relation to the killing.
