Police in Tonga have launched a manhunt for two men who fatally wounded two foreign nationals on Saturday, 03 March 2018, at their rented apartment in Mgobodzi Trust, outside Malelane.
Information at police disposal reveals that the suspects, who were masquerading as police officers, went into a house belonging to the Headman of Mgobodzi, where the two victims were renting rooms at the back.
The suspects first knocked at the main house (the Headman’s house) but were denied entry. They then went to the back rooms, took the victims with to the main house and instructed them to tell the occupants in the house that they (suspects) are police officers so they must open the door but they (occupants) still refused.
They then went back to the backrooms with the victims and fatally shot the suspects and fled the scene. They further stole the victim’s cellphones which were later found abandoned on the main road towards Sibange.
Police are appealing to anyone who might have information regarding the whereabouts of the suspects to contact Colonel Alex Mahlahlani at 082 318 9865 the SAPS Crime Stop number 08600 10111.
