 Three suspects appeared in the Port Elizabeth Magistrates court on Thursday for a bail application following an alleged mob-justice killing.

Vukile Dyele, Mputhumi Maxela, and Siyabulela Sibulo in their thirties are allegedly community leaders that committed a double murder on the 19th of May.

In his evidence investigating officer Conrad Goosen says during the incident the victims were assaulted by a mob of around 500 people.

He says that the community cannot take matters into their own hands.

He says as a result of the Booysen park riots 6 houses were burnt down in the process and caused millions of rands in damage to the area.

The case was postponed until Tuesday.
