The preliminary police investigations had also revealed that the suspects withdrew an undisclosed amount of money from the victim’s bank account before they dumped him at that spot.

“Prior to this discovery, the victim and his employees were attacked by unknown suspects at home who pointed [firearms at them] and ordered them to lie down. During the process, the suspects robbed the victims their cellphones, forced the owner inside his Porche vehicle, and drove away, leaving behind the employees. The car was later found abandoned near Ivy Park suburb within the City of Polokwane.”
