Rosettenville suspects charged with murder of gang members
The ten suspects arrested in the Rosettenville deadly shooting on Monday are expected to appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court on Monday.
They were part of a group of 25 suspects who were intercepted by the cash-in-transit task team planning to to commit a CIT robbery.
Hawks spokesperson Thandi Mbambo says they have been charged with the murder of the eight suspects killed.
"The suspects are held accountable for the 8 murders because if they had not opened fire on the police no one would have died.
"They are facing charges of murder x 8, attempted murder, possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition, possession of explosives and possession of hijacked vehicles. Eight suspects were fatally shot. All SAPS members and a JMPD member who were shot and injured during the ordeal are recovering well," said Mbambo.
