Swift arrests in Northcliff robbery and murder case
Six people have been arrested in connection with the three burnt bodies found in Centurion on Monday morning.
Police spokesperson Captain Kay Makhubela says the suspects were arrested following a house robbery in Northcliff Johannesburg, which is linked to the case.
"The three bodies found in Centurion appeared to be the members of the Northcliff case, however police are still waiting for the DNA results," says Makhubela.
Makhubela says the suspects were arrested in Zone 5 in Pimville, Soweto, last night.
"Police have arrested six suspects and recovered a Mercedes Benz stolen from the house, electric appliances and the Quantum used as a getaway vehicle," says Makhubela.
Makhubela says the suspects will appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate Court soon facing charges of kidnapping, house robbery and murder.
"The Provincial Commissioner of the South African Police Service, Lieutenant General Deliwe De Lange, applauds the team of the Provincial Trio Unit for arresting the suspects."
