Angry mob kills suspect

The 56-year-old was a teacher at Chueu Primary School in Rooiboklaagte. He has murdered allegedly during a hijacking in Green Valley outside Acornhoek, Mpumalanga, last Wednesday at about 9 pm. A suspect (29) appeared briefly in the Acornhoek Magistrates Court on Tuesday. The family of Caiphus Chiloane wants justice for the murder of their loved one.

He faces charges of murder, hijacking and kidnapping. He will appear for a formal bail application on 7 November.

Speaking to Daily Sun, Caiphus’ brother Henry Chiloane (53) said his brother left home at about 55 pmin his Toyota bakkie and never came home. He said they received a call later that night from neighbours who had spotted the damaged bakkie parked at an RDP in Orpen Gate. Later, they received a call from cops saying a body had been dumped on the R40.

“It turned out the dead man was our brother,” said Henry. Angry residents have since attacked and killed a 33-year-old suspect they believe was connected to the murder.

Police spokeswoman Captain Mpho Nonyane said: “Police recovered the partly damaged car belonging to the dead man at an RDP in Orpen Gate.” Nonyane confirmed another suspect’s death after he was attacked by angry residents.
