He says a third victim is still in critical condition after being transferred to a hospital in Gqeberha.
It is alleged that Hans, Sweli and a third person were given poisoned cupcakes.

Hans and Sweli died soon after being admitted.
A source told Algoa FM News that the cupcakes were laced with pesticides.
