Police arrest man in linked to suspected vigilante attack in Delft

CAPE TOWN - Police have arrested a man in connection with a suspected vigilante attack in Delft South.
 
The suspect was taken into custody on Tuesday night and faces three charges of murder.
 
The three victims had been shot and set alight, and their bodies were found early Tuesday.
 
The suspect is expected to appear in Blue Downs Magistrates Court once charged and the possibility of more arrests is not excluded.
 
"Two of the bodies are male and the third one is believed to be a female, as identification is yet to be made," said the police's Andre Traut.

"Vigilantism is condemned in the strongest possible terms and offenders are regarded as ruthless criminals who can expect to be dealt with in a court of law. Harbouring a criminal is also punishable by law."
