Police confirmed they were arrested on Thursday morning in connection with the murder of Dingalamaya Chintso (50), who was shot four times in the head on the fourth floor of the courthouse on April 8.

The other accused are Shireen Matthews (35) and Abubaker Adams (24), who appeared in court together for the first time on Wednesday.

They are being charged under the Prevention of Organised Crime Act (Poca) for allegedly being members of the Junky Funky Kidz gang and allegedly committing the murder for the gang.

The state alleges that Matthews had the victim killed in retaliation. The case has been postponed to 9 May.

Police have not ruled out more arrests.
