More charges are likely to be added by the list already faced by the two men linked to the mass murder in Site C, Khayelitsha, last Saturday.
Thirty-two-year-old Sithisa Masiko and 30-year-old AthuleMtsha were arrested on Monday and made their first appearance at the
Khayelitsha Magistrate’s Court on Friday.
Three children aged 5, 11 and 12 and an adult aged 30 were
killed, when unknown gunmen entered a barber shop in Gqrwarha Street and opened
fire at the occupants of the premises.
Police Minister Bheki Cele and Western Cape Police
Commissioner Thembisile Patekile attended court proceedings.
National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson in the
Western Cape, Eric Ntabazalila, said so far, the pair are facing four counts of
murder, eleven counts of attempted murder and two counts of possession of
illegal firearms.
The case has been postponed to next Wednesday.
