An alleged illegal immigrant
arrested on a bus in Beaufort-West is not a
suspect in the recent murders of two bread-truck drivers, who were shot dead in Delft.
A video of “the Sasko murders”,
which was trending on social media, shows three people sitting in the truck. After a while two
suspects appear on both sides of the truck, rob the passengers and then shoot
into the truck, killing two of them. The third was shot in the face and
arm and taken to hospital.
Earlier today a screenshot of an
email supposedly showing a police email started doing the rounds. In the
“email” it is written that information was received from
an informant “with regard to the suspect that was involved in a double
murder in which a bread delivery truck was robbed and employees were
killed.”
The informant apparently
identified the suspect as a Zimbabwean national who had been travelling by bus
to his home country, adding that the suspect had been sought in other robbery
cases as well.
Police spokesperson Lieutenant
Colonel Malcolm Pojie confirmed to TygerBurger a 28-year-old Zimbabwean
national had been arrested in Beaufort-West yesterday, 22 May, as an
undocumented person. “However, he is not a suspect in the Delft double
murder of a week ago,” he said.
