Police have arrested two more suspects in connection with the murder of an e-hailing driver who was killed in Pretoria West on Wednesday, 11 February.

The two male suspects, aged 30 and 26, were arrested following ongoing investigations. They will join a third suspect, aged 25, who was arrested on Friday, 13 February . A female suspect had also been arrested earlier in connection with the case.

All suspects are expected to appear before the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court Today, 16 February , facing charges that include car hijacking and murder.

According to police, preliminary investigations indicate that the victim was allegedly murdered after a male and female suspect requested an e-hailing service in Pretoria West. The victim’s hijacked vehicle and his body were discovered in Atteridgeville on the same day.

Police have confirmed that they are still searching for the fourth suspect as investigations continue.

The arrests were confirmed in media statements issued by the office of the Provincial Commissioner of police in Gauteng.
