Looking for Sabelo and Njabulo
The duo is said to have escaped at Gert Sibande District near Ermelo Correctional Centre.
A vigorous manhunt has been launched by police in Mpumalanga after following up an incident where two dangerous suspects escaped from lawful custody yesterday.
The suspects are 24-year Sabelo Nkosi (24) and Njabulo Nsibande (27) escaped on Tuesday, January 26.
The duo is said to have escaped at Gert Sibande District near Ermelo Correctional Centre.
They were transported from Breyten Magistrate’s Court to the correctional facility.
“Nkosi and Nsibande were initially arrested after they reportedly committed various offences in December 2016. These offences include murder, attempted murder, two counts of rape as well as two counts of robbery with aggravating circumstances and were both on trial for the said charges,” said Brig Leonard Hlathi provincial police spokesperson.
The escapees appeared before the Mpumalanga Division of the High Court which was sitting at Breyten on Monday, January 25.
Police urge members of the public including families of the suspects, to assist with information that may lead to their rearrest to contact Detective Sergeant Mmabatho Mafate on 072 610 5768 from Ermelo Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit (FCS) or call the Crime Stop number on 08600 10111.
Alternatively, members of the public can send information via MYSAPSAPP which can be downloaded to any smartphone. All information will be treated as confidential and callers may opt to remain anonymous.
Hlathi said an internal investigation that will look into how these villains escaped is underway.
