The police opened a case of murder (two counts) for further investigation. The identities of the deceased persons are to be confirmed on completion of the forensic investigation,\u201d said Nkohli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that in another incident police were summoned to a scene after two bodies were found floating in the dam in Kaplani Village in Mthatha on Monday, June 5. They were identified as Lunga Feya (27) and Luthando Thingithingi (34). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to him the two deceased sustained multiple injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA case of murder was opened for further investigation. The police are urging anyone with information that could lead to the arrest of suspects in any of the two incidents to contact an investigating team leader on 062&nbsp;310 2714. The information may also be shared via Crime Stop on 08600 10111.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Nomthetheleli Mene has condemned the incidents, and has immediately activated a task team to track, trace and arrest the suspects involved in both cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have faith in the team, and we will not rest until there is a breakthrough. We appeal to the communities to work with the police and to report any information that can assist in the investigation,\u201d she said. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spokesperson for the Department of Correctional Services (DCS), Logan Maistry confirmed that a vehicle belonging to its Community Correctional Office in Mthatha was found torched with two dead bodies inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe torched Isuzu Double Cab was assigned to one of our officials who is suspected to be one of the deceased. The matter has been reported to the members of the South African Police Service (SAPS) and investigation is ongoing. An internal investigation has also been instituted,\u201d said Maistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Twitter\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_ae829a5e\">\n<div class=\"tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/sapsEC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#sapsEC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SAPS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SAPS<\/a> seek public assistance in solving a murder case following the recovery of 4 bodies, two days apart in Kaplani Village outside Mthatha.
