Gauteng police have launched a manhunt for two suspects following the discovery of the bodies of two young men at a house in Eldorado Park.
Another two suspects, aged 40 and 50, have already been arrested.
Gauteng police spokesperson Mathapelo Peters says police arrived at the house on Friday afternoon and found two bodies in one room, badly assaulted and wrapped in plastic.
“Both the deceased’s hand and feet were tied with wire. The deceased have since been identified by their next of kin.
“However, police at this stage are not at liberty to disclose their identities,” said Peters.
“Police are therefore also probing the possibility that a severely injured body found the previous day at Klipspruit West Cemetery could be that of the third person whose identity is yet to be determined, and will therefore establish whether the two crime scenes are connected.”
Preliminary investigations up to this end have revealed that the deceased were last seen with a third person the previous day. Police are therefore also probing the possibility that a severely injured body found the previous day at Klipspruit West Cemetery, could be that of the third person whose identity is yet to be determined, and will therefore establish whether the two crime scenes are connected.
Police are appealing for anyone with information that could assist with the investigation and lead to the apprehension of the two sought suspects, to urgently contact police at Kliptown SAPS, or call the Crime Stop number 08600 10111, or relay information via the MySAPS App that can be downloaded onto any smartphone.
