The police in Levubu outside Thohoyandou have last night, 15 February 2018, arrested two more suspects aged 24 and 26, for the brutal murder of Warrant Officer Aluguni Thomas Nemugumoni (54).
The latest arrests bring to four the total number of suspects arrested.
One of the two suspects aged 26 is the elder sister of the 21 year old Mphophi Nemugumoni (both daughters of the deceased) and the other aged 24 is the elder brother of the 19 year old Calvin Tshisudi. The Tshisudi brothers are known to be notorious criminals and are likely to be connected to other crimes in the area.
The two suspects, Calvin Tshisudi and Phophi Nemugumoni have appeared in Vuwani Magistrates’ Court on 16 February 2018, and were remanded in custody until Friday 23 February 2018.
The latest arrested suspects will also appear in Vuwani Magistrates’ Court on Monday 19 February 2018.
The Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant General Nneke Ledwaba has once again commended the members for their relentless pursuit of the suspects responsible for this cold blooded murder. The swiftness in which this case was cracked should be emulated by all members, concluded General Ledwaba.
The suspects will face charges of murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Police investigations are continuing.
