Police launch search for two more suspects in Zandspruit lynching
Police in Gauteng have launched a manhunt for two men suspected of being involved in the brutal Zandspruit mob attack more than three weeks ago.
Eight young men died when the community rounded up a total of nine people accused of being behind the spike in criminal activity in the area.
One other remains in hospital.
The group were taken to a community sports ground and lynched.
Six people were arrested for the attacks and appeared at the Roodepoort Magistrate's Court last month.
The suspects are expected to apply for bail in June.
