Twelve arrested for double murder in Mthatha


Eleven men including a 17-year-old boy are expected to appear in the Mthatha Magistrates on Thursday in connection with a double murder which took place in October.

Spokesperson Captain Dineo Koena says the victims, aged 37 and 41 were last seen when they left a local tavern on the 25th of October, in the company of one of the accused.

Their decomposed bodies were later found buried in shallow graves and a post mortem found that they were stabbed to death.

Koena says shortly after the men dissapeared a special task team was formed by SAPS who eventually made a breakthroug in the investigation.

The motive for the murders is unknown at this stage.

The suspects are aged between 17 and 30.
