3 members of the Hard Livings gang arrested for wheelie bin murder

Three members of the Hard Livings gang accused of being behind the vicious murder of a woman who was strangled and dumped in a wheelie bin in Manenberg have abandoned their bail applications.

In a shocking twist it has been revealed that the third suspect was bust on 11 March after going on the run for several weeks.

The horrific discovery was made on 6 March as commuters walking along Duinefontein saw the legs of the woman inside the bin.

The bin was dumped in a canal near Duinefontein Road in Manenberg and police were called to the scene as a large crowd gathered trying to identify the deceased woman.

As police photographers arrived on the scene the body was removed and this is when cops discovered it was a woman. It was later revealed that the victim was from Gugulethu.

On the same day, Sergeant Daryl Van Noie retraced her movements and discovered that she was last seen alive at a property in Hurricane Street. Cops descended on the house which is reportedly run as a hideout for the Hard Livings gang and busted Denver Paulse.

 It was discovered that the woman was strangled with a rope the woman and the reason for her gruesome death was that the Hard Livings gang suspected her of being a spy for the Fancy Boys gang and even set her on fire before dumping the bin in the canal.

Four days after the murder, Paulse appeared alongside Shaheem Van Schalkwyk at the Athlone Magistrate’s Court on murder charges where they were informed that the state would be opposing their release on bail.

The duo returned to court this week where they were joined by Zubair Moses, who was arrested last week.

During court proceedings the trio opted to abandon their bail applications and the case was postponed to 23 May for further investigations.
