PE murder suspect "evading police"


WANTED: Police are looking for a 22-year-old man who was allegedly involved in a murder and attempted murder which took place in the city's Northern Areas in January.

Spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidu says Azaar Claasen is evading police and is one of three men involved in the shooting.

His alleged accomplices, 22-year-old Earl August and the 23-year-old Jonathan Hector have already been arrested and charged with murder.

Naidu says on the 9th of January a 47-year-old man, who was chased by three suspects, ran into a house in Martin Street where he shut the door.

The suspects, however, entered through the back door and opened fire.

The victim sustained a gunshot wound to his upper body.

The 25-year-old Renique Witbooi was shot in the stomach and died later in hospital.

Any person with information on Claasen's whereabouts can contact the police and remain anonymous.
