The mystery surrounding the disappearance of Ndlovu and Mdhluli seems to be deepening as ongoing investigations unearth a network of new suspects.

Police found the three additional suspects at their hideout in Rust De Winter in Limpopo, close to the area where the two skeletal remains were discovered just last week. 

However, DNA testing is still underway to determine if the remains are those of Ndlovu and Mdhluli.

Meanwhile, the other five suspects are due back in court later this month.
