LIMPOPO – This condemnation follows a mob-related incident in the Tubatse Policing area outside Burgersfort where two vehicles were set alight and one person killed, said Police spokesperson, Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe.
It is alleged the deceased was part of a group of suspects who were intercepted while on their way to rob a business in Ga-Mokgotho village.

The second vehicle was later also set alight and burnt to ashes.
According to reports the deceased is a 29-year-old man from ga-Mashamothane village near Burgersfort but further forensic investigations are still underway to confirm his identity. The two accomplices who fled the scene are still unknown, confirmed Ngoepe.
A case of murder and two counts of malicious damage to property are being investigated.
