Polokwane police said a gang of five
suspects who have been terrorising students at the University of Limpopo
The suspects concentrated mainly on students renting rooms off campus and who were walking to and from classes.
The suspects, who used to operate in groups
of two to three overpowered the victims, dragged them into the bushes and raped
them, sometimes at gunpoint.
Colonel Ronnell Otto said after intensive
investigation the ringleader was arrested first and further investigations lead
them to the other for suspects and they were arrested over the course of last
week.
Otto added that they appeared in court on charges of rape, armed robbery and attempted murder and they are positively linked to several of those cases in that area and the group will collectively appear in court again on July the 17th.
