Afterwards the escapees aged between 20 and 33 fled the scene on foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially it was believed six suspects had escaped but it was later determined only five following a headcount, according to Pojie. By Thursday two of the suspects had been re-arrested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The five suspects stand accused of serious crimes, including murder, attempted murder, assault and robberies with aggravated circumstances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These charges will now also include escape from lawful custody, attempted murder and robbery of a firearm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These cases have been registered at Athlone Police Station and will be probed by provincial police detectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also read:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news24.com\/news24\/community-newspaper\/peoples-post\/just-in-manhunt-continues-for-three-of-five-athlone-court-escapees-with-two-back-in-custody-20231012\">Manhunt continues for three of five Athlone court escapees, with two back in custody<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Athlone Magisterial District includes Philippi, Gugulethu, Crossroads, Athlone and Nyanga, among other areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While <span><em>People\u2019s Post<\/em><\/span> attempted to establish the crimes, names and locations of the two previously re-arrested suspects, police had not released this information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Thursday, the three remaining prisoners were identified as Khuma Ningo, Vuyani Bonkolo and Khaya Supulana all from the Gugulethu area. However, Ningo was rearrested the next day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interim District Community Policing Forum chair for the Cape Metro Rafique Floflonker said the brazen escape was alarming. \u201cThe big question that we have is: do they have enough police resources at the courts to facilitate the movement of such high-level prisoners,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added this question had been raised not only about Athlone Magistrates\u2019 Court, but Wynberg as well, where a witness was recently killed outside the court building in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Cape Metro district CPF has expressed their concern to the provincial commissioner regarding the number of resources allocated to the courts regarding the levels of criminality they have,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of the kinds of crime, he believes these resources should be bolstered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are not only people attending cases, there are witnesses coming to see prosecutors and testifying and moving through the courts. It is not only about the kinds of crime,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Western Cape Minister of Police Oversight and Community Safety Reagen Allen says the escape and capture of these prisoners is \u201cdeeply concerning\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt has to be established how these accused managed this, and along with other possibilities, if the relevant and necessary precautions were followed at the court to prevent it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShould any official have aided in this escape, then they too should be held accountable. We cannot have these dangerous accused roaming our streets. They belong behind bars,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police are calling on the public not to approach the suspects, who should be considered armed and dangerous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The public is advised to report any suspicious-looking person and\/or the whereabouts of these escapees to the nearest police station or CrimeStop on 08600 10111 or to investigating officer Capt Jacques Cussel on
