He said the community was still in shock: “This community is still in shock. We are all gathering together for the funeral. You can see the pain is all over.”
Meanwhile, MEC for Community Safety Albert Fritz said he would request the department’s court watching brief unit to monitor the case.
“We are condemning it in the strongest possible terms of the murders of the bodies found already. We want the police to give us a thorough investigation.”
Police believe there may be more victims.
