Soshanguve murders: Police hunting at least 5 suspects after one arrest

JOHANNESBURG - One suspect has been arrested while two others have been taken in for questioning about the deadly shooting of six community safety patrollers in Soshanguve. 

The group was shot and stoned to death during clashes with suspected criminals at the "Marry Me" informal settlement over the weekend.

The death toll increased to six on Tuesday, after another victim succumbed to their injuries.

Police Minister Senzo Mchunu addressed community members on Tuesday morning.

Mchunu says more arrests are imminent: “There was an estimate of about five people and we want them to be arrested and face the consequences of hat they did.”
