No bail for Tyson’s alleged killers
Murugan (24) was attacked and murdered for his cellphone.
Bail has been opposed for the two men arrested last week for the alleged murder of Tongaat martial arts fighter Tyson Murugan.
The men appeared at Verulam magistrates court on June 27 and have been remanded in custody at Westville prison.
Two 18-year-old men were arrested by an off-duty officer on Tuesday, June 24. Tongaat SAPS Sgt TM Govender made the arrests after a tip-off.
“Sgt Govender phoned the detectives and crime prevention for back-up and found the first suspect on foot about 5km away from Hlabisa on the Upper Tongaat Road,” said Tongaat SAPS acting spokesperson warrant officer Manisha Maharaj-Marie. The first man was arrested and cooperated with police to help them find his accomplice.
“Our members proceeded to Gwalas farm, where the other suspect was also apprehended and the cell phone was recovered,” said Maharaj-Mar
Murugan (24) was attacked and murdered, apparently for his cellphone, while walking home along Gopalall Hurbans Road on June 3.
