According to EMPD spokesperson, Chief Superintendent Wilfred Kgasago, crime intelligence officers from the organisation were called in to handle the investigation.

“Due to peculiar developments arising at the scene, the metro police were compelled to summon crime intelligence officers from Pretoria to investigate. The scene was subsequently handed over to the Hawks.”

In-depth investigations by the Hawks are underway, Kgasago confirmed.
