By Everson Luhanga

Gauteng police have launched a manhunt for a group of suspects who shot and killed four people in Diepsloot on Saturday night.

Provincial police spokesperson Brigadier Brenda Muridili confirmed the incidents.

She said: “Police in Gauteng are on the lookout for suspects after four people were shot and killed in different incidents around Diepsloot this past weekend.

“In one of the incidents, the victim was hijacked, shot and killed. The hijacked car was later found abandoned in Tembisa.”

Muridili said in the other encounters, the victims were robbed of their belongings, shot and killed.

“It cannot be confirmed at this stage of the investigation if the incidents can be linked to the same perpetrators,” she said.

Scrolla.Africa broke the story about the murders on Sunday.

Community leader Loyiso Toyiya said they will work with the authorities to help find the culprits. 

“We are shattered by the death of so many people in the night. This is unacceptable and we need the help from the police to apprehend the perpetrators,” he said.
