Police have arrested two additional suspects in connection with the murder of an e-hailing driver in Pretoria, bringing the total number of arrests in the case to three.
The suspects, aged 30 and 26, were taken into custody this week and join a female suspect who was arrested last week. Authorities allege the driver was attacked and killed on Wednesday after responding to a trip request in Pretoria West.
His hijacked vehicle and body were later discovered in Atteridgeville on the same day.
All three accused are expected to appear before the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on charges of murder and carjacking.
Police say investigations are ongoing as officers continue their search for a fourth suspect believed to be linked to the crime.
The arrests mark a significant development in the case, which has once again raised concerns about the safety of e-hailing drivers operating in high-risk areas.
