Eastern Cape police made an urgent appeal to the public for assistance in tracing “four wanted dangerous suspects” they say could possibly be linked to the Lusikisiki mass murders.
National police spokesperson, Brigadier Athlenda Mathe, said their investigations are at an advanced stage and operations are underway to trace the four men.
“Through preliminary investigations, police have reason to believe that the following four suspects would be able to assist the police in solving the Lusikisiki mass murder case.
“They are 20-year-old Songezo ‘Mashiya’ Vuma, 31- year-old Bonga ‘Rico’ Hintsa, 25-year-old Aphiwe ‘AP’ Ndende and 31-year-old Lwando Anthony ‘Abi’ Shakes,” Mathe said.
She cautioned members of the public against confronting the suspects as they are considered to be dangerous and may be heavily armed.
“Anyone with information on their whereabouts is encouraged to contact the SAPS Organised Crime or the SAPS Serious and Violent Crimes Investigation team on 082 302 7762.
“All information will be treated with confidentiality. Callers may remain anonymous,” she added.
