Two more suspects have been arrested in connection with the brutal murder of a Pretoria e-hailing driver, bringing the number of arrests to three as police continue the hunt for a fourth suspect.

Police spokesperson Colonel Mavela Masondo said the driver was killed in what is thought to have been a hijacking in Pretoria West on Wednesday, and his vehicle and body were later found in Atteridgeville the same day.

According to police, the suspects, aged 30, 26 and 25, are expected to appear in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court today, facing charges including murder and car hijacking.

Pretoria Rekord reports that the police launched a probe after a disturbing social media video depicting what appeared to be a car-seat murder went viral, showing the final moments of the driver.

The act was captured on the vehicle’s dashcam and has been widely shared on social media.

The driver has been identified as Isaac David Satlat. His family has reportedly pleaded for assistance to return his body home to Nigeria.
