The third murder took place on October 21; the police were alerted to the homicide after receiving a call from Witbank General Hospital which had received the body of the deceased.

The deceased’s friends allege that they were sitting at the side of the road around a fire when three unknown men approached them and started letting off rounds.

The victim was shot through the abdomen and had arrived at the hospital already deceased.

Any individuals with information pertaining to any of these four murders are urged to approach Witbank SAPS at their premises, or to telephone them on 013 655 5052.
