Cape Town police are seeking public assistance in tracing Edy Abybbakar, who has been charged with murder.

It is alleged the Kenyan citizen brutally assaulted 26 year old Siyabalela Mbewu, in the early hours of December 08, 2009 in a nightclub, Midnight Groove.
Mbewu died few days later due to his injuries.

Police say Abybbakar was arrested shortly after the incident, but skipped bail and failed to appear in court during December. A warrant for his arrest was subsequently issued.

Anyone who knows Abybbakar's whereabouts is requested to contact the investigating officer, Inspector Shaun Bardien on 082 9222 606.
