Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Three people were killed in different locations in Mahikeng in the North West – the incidents happened on Sunday and Monday.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, a 17-year-old was raped and murdered in Lonely Park near Mmalephoi.<\/p>\n

When police arrived at the RDP house, they found the body of Amogelang Moadibo on the floor, said North West police spokesperson Colonel Ad\u00e9le Myburgh.<\/p>\n

Later that day, 21-year-old Thato Morake, was arrested.<\/p>\n

“He was charged with murder and rape,” she said.<\/p>\n

Morake appeared in the Molopo Magistrate’s Court in Mmabatho on Tuesday. He was remanded in custody, said Myburgh.<\/p>\n

Morake was due to return to court on 17 May.<\/p>\n

Asked for further information, Myburgh told News24 she could not provide more details at this point, but noted in the statement that more arrests were imminent.<\/p>\n

In a separate incident, police arrested a 37-year-old man and were looking into a mob justice incident linked to the murder of Vuyisile Maphanzi.<\/p>\n

The incident happened on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Police said they responded to a scene in Signal Hill Village, Mahikeng where Maphanzi, 34, was allegedly stabbed with a sharp object.<\/p>\n

Maphanzi was rushed to a local hospital, where he was declared dead.<\/p>\n

Myburgh said investigations led to the arrest of Godfrey Tshipi, 37, who also appeared in the Molopo Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“He appeared on a charge of murder and was remanded in custody,” she said.<\/p>\n

His case was rolled over to 17 May for his next court appearance.<\/p>\n

On Monday, a mob allegedly grabbed a 26-year-old man in Signal Hill Village and accused him of Maphanzi’s murder.<\/p>\n

According to Myburgh, the man was “severely assaulted and ultimately set alight”.<\/p>\n

“When Emergency Medical and Rescue Services (EMRS) arrived on the scene, the man was declared dead,” said Myburg.<\/p>\n

Police are investigating a case of murder.<\/p>\n
