...then slapped him on the face. After Golota retaliated with a left, another unidentified Bowe camp member repeatedly slammed Golota in the back of the head with a walkie-talkie, opening a bloody gash. The brawl then spilled into the stands, as Bowe backers and supporters of the Polish-born Golota squared off. All the while, Bowe was laying on the canvas, protected by his manager Rock Newman.

Police said they arrested Januzu Jakub Wallus, a 40-year-old Polish-born South African, reportedly traced through the red car that had sped away after Hani's murder. Wallus was in possession of two guns. An initial assertion by Deputy Law and Order Minister Gert Myburgh that the killing looked like an individual act rather than a conspiracy was rejected by A.N.C. leaders, who demanded that they, as well as international observers, be permitted to participate in the investigation...
