A suspect is due to make a second appearance on 25 July 2019 before the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court, following his arrest in connection with the alleged disappearance of two brothers who were reported missing at Moffat View Police Station on 28 June 2019.

The suspect was arrested on 4 July 2019 after a family member recognised a car belonging to one of the missing men being sold on social media, and contacted the Police.

Police are not at liberty to divulge further detail as the case investigated by Moffat View SAPS is now before the Court.

Meanwhile, police are investigating the circumstances behind the death of two victims whose bodies were found on a plot in Delmas, Mpumalanga. Police were informed about the bodies on 11 July 2019 and were able to confirm with the assistance of family members, that the deceased were indeed the two victims that had been reported missing at Moffat View in Johannesburg.

Moffat View SAPS communication officer Captain Jeff Phora said further investigation is underway to determine whether the suspect arrested for kidnapping could also be behind the murder of the two victims.
