Five middle-aged men were either fatally stabbed or bludgeoned to death.

The high-level special task team has hit the ground looking to crack the case.

Intelligence officers will be looking at CCTV footage to identify the culprit behind the killing of the homeless men. “All deceased were found with multiple stab wounds to the upper body and also blunt trauma as a result of that we have deployed our intelligence unit informers and also intelligence network,” said police spokesperson Captain Daniel Mavimbela.

Police have put the brakes on information being released to the public but with no leads or arrests yet, many living on the streets fear the worst.“It’s a serial killer and it’s closely linked,” he said.Police are urging the homeless to sleep in groups for their own safety.

Vagrancy should be outlawed

I hope the culprit is found and brought to justice soon. Can the same priority be afforted to the case of Amahle Thabethe? The child has been missing for 2 months now. Not taking anything away from this case.

Probably a resident of Muckleneuk trying to scare them away.

We hope and pray the police catch this predator (s), these poor people are on the street trying to survive and make it through the day in peace

Have the footage been viewed and do we have a suspect?

I guarantee you this is done by boeres black genocide, in South Africa.

Police usually are clueless on how to gather crime scene evidence. We reported a case when our business was robbed with explicit trail of evidence but dololo arrest of the suspect. But are quick to arrest a black husband having a domestic quarrel with his spouse.

Now only 😡

We mustn’t think far,remember the 5 Racists White boys who went Besek killing a homeless black man because of hate and this useless ANC government is to a large extent Bear the Blame for glorifying homelessness in SA and Racists Killers use the opportunity to kill Bcos of Hate

But CityTshwane surveillance cameras ain't working for damn 5 years. Is the footage from a private entity / household? SAPoliceService
