Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Two people arrested in connection with the murder of Kgomotso Diale, who was recently shot and killed at Chicken Farm informal settlement, appeared in the Protea Magistrate’s Court on Monday.<\/p>\n

Tebogo Molapo, 29, and Mokhabi Ngoanapudi, 33, will remain in custody until 4 May for legal representation, said National Prosecuting Authority regional spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane.<\/p>\n

The men were charged with two counts of murder, six counts of attempted murder, and two counts of possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition.<\/p>\n

Mjonondwane said the second murder charge stems from the death of an alleged co-accomplice.<\/p>\n

“The South African Police Service (SAPS) acted on information about the whereabouts of suspects that were allegedly involved in the Chicken Farm shooting.<\/p>\n

“Upon arrival at a house in Dlamini, Soweto, police proceeded to the backyard room and knocked on the door,” she said.<\/p>\n

2 arrested in connection with protest murder in Soweto, third suspect shot dead<\/p>\n

“Upon entering, one of the suspects opened fire, and the police retaliated. One suspect died, and two were placed under arrest, with police seizing two firearms and ammunition.”<\/p>\n

Diale, 34, died during a clash between a group of Pimville residents and residents of the nearby Chicken Farm informal settlement last Monday.<\/p>\n

According to Mjonondwane, the residents went to Chicken Farm to seek leads after their area was plunged into darkness as a result of suspected cable theft.<\/p>\n

“Allegations are that three males alighted from a vehicle, armed with rifles and started shooting at the Pimville residents. Diale and four other people were injured, with Diale succumbing to the gunshot wounds,” she added.<\/p>\n
