Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>A man was arrested in connection with the kidnapping and murder of house robbery suspects in KaNyamazane, Mpumalanga, on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

It’s alleged that household items worth about R 11 000 were stolen during the robbery, including a 40-inch Hisense TV, three cellphones, clothing and a USB stick.<\/p>\n

Four people believed to be behind the robbery, were kidnapped and severely assaulted, according to police spokesperson Brigadier Selvy Mohlala. Two of them were found dead in Pienaar on Saturday, one person is still missing and the fourth person, who was injured, escaped.<\/p>\n

“The matter was brought to the attention of the police at Pienaar where an investigation led to the arrest of the [man]. Police are still in pursuit of other suspects who were behind this and the investigation into the missing person still continues,” said Mohlala.<\/p>\n

The man is expected to appear before court on two counts of murder. Mohlala said more charges were expected to be added.<\/p>\n

Mpumalanga Community Safety, Security and Liaison MEC Vusi Shongwe said vigilantism was not only barbaric, but was against the values of the Constitution.<\/p>\n

Shongwe added:<\/p>\n

He added that no one has a right to take the law into their own hands.<\/p>\n
