Mfuleni police divers are continuing the search for four people in their youths, after they were allegedly thrown into a river stream that runs across the Covid-19 informal settlement in Driftsands, on Saturday.
The foursome is believed to be victims of a mob
justice.
The police’s Novela Potelwa said that police
divers were called out to the area late on Saturday afternoon, whereby they
retrieved a body of an unidentified man. Potelwa added that the man is not
linked to the four missing youths
‘’Meanwhile on Sunday morning police resumed
the search along the banks of the river stream. Due to rainy weather conditions
that caused the water levels to rise, a search inside the river stream by
police divers proved difficult to execute,’’ said Brigadier Novela Potelwa.
‘’Another body was recovered from the water by
police divers on Sunday afternoon. Family members of two youths (siblings) who
went missing on Saturday afternoon reported them missing at Mfuleni Police
station,’’ she added.
