“One of the sisters had her hands and legs tied and her mouth was closed with a cloth,” said Ubisi.
Ubisi said the thorough investigation of crime and collection of all evidence is crucial in the successful conviction of suspects in courts; this was proven once more during an intensive investigation by Det Sgt Philemon Ngoako Magwaza in this double murder case.
