Port Elizabeth police arrested three people from Walmer Township following a mob attack which left two people dead and a third hospitalised.
Police Spokesperson, Warrant Officer Alwin Labans, said a group about 80 community members arrived at the Walmer police station on Friday morning to demand the release of the suspects.
The residents later dispersed after being addressed by senior police officials.
Labans said the suspects were arrested on Thursday night and are facing charges of murder and attempted murder.
Three men were allegedly attacked earlier this month by a mob who accused the men of being house robbers.
Two men were beaten to death and a third is currently still hospitalised.
The three suspects are expected to appear in the Port Elizabeth Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
