TZANEEN: Gang leader hands himself over to the police

The man who is in his late 40's will be formally charged on murder and will soon appear before the Ritavi Magistrate Court

A gang leader of one of the gangsters believed to be involved in the Dan Village violence handed himself over to the Ritavi Police Station on Monday (March 13) at Nkowankowa Township.

Meanwhile the criminal case of the other arrested suspects involved in the gang violence was postponed without bail at the Ritavi Magistrate Court on Monday (March 13).

The 18 suspects (15 adults and 3 juveniles) appeared before the court and their case was postponed to April 3, for formal bail application.

The suspects are accused of brutally killing two people and critically injuring one person in Dan Village in February.

It is believed that the murders are a result of animosity between Bokoharam (from Dan Village) and Masakhinya (from Mokgolobotho Village).

The two deceased have been laid to rest about a month ago.

“Police presence is still maintained in the village and the entire area is relatively quite,”said Lieutenant Colonel, Moatshe Ngoepe.

Lieutenant Ngoepe added that investigations are still continuing and a manhunt for the few remaining suspects is underway.
