Police are still searching for a fifth suspect in Braam’s murder. He was found tied up and killed at a Brooklyn guesthouse earlier this month.
Police spokesperson Captain Johan van Dyk said the hunt for the outstanding suspect is ongoing, after four men appeared in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday in connection with the murder.
Ntando Zondi (26), Mpendule Wandile Nyembe (27), Sphesihle Mbambo (24) and Siphosihle Xulu (22), all believed to be from KwaZulu-Natal, were arrested in Protea Glen, Soweto, at around 04:00 on Sunday, just over a week after Braam was murdered.
Braam was found tied up in one of the guesthouse rooms, with clear signs of a struggle, on Thursday, April 2, at a guesthouse on Justice Mohamed Drive in Brooklyn.
He would have celebrated his 41st birthday on April 5 and is being remembered with deep sadness by his family, friends and colleagues in the emergency services community.
