Armed man stoned to death by community members after attempted robbery at Limpopo tavern

Police in Limpopo have opened a case of murder, and a manhunt has been launched for perpetrators in the attempted tavern robbery case, and the brutal murder of the suspect.

“Anyone with information should contact Lieutenant Colonel David Twala on 071 210 6628, Crime Stop at 08600 10111, their nearest police station, or use the My SAPS App,” the police appealed.

Last month IOL reported that police at Giyani, in the Mopani district of Limpopo, launched manhunt for assailants who assaulted a 21-year-old man who later died at hospital.

The incident occurred at Giyani Homu village.

“Police were summoned to the local hospital after the man was transferred to the hospital with serious multiple injuries all over his body. He was certified dead,” he said.

The deceased man’s identity is currently being withheld by police, pending further investigations. A case of murder is being probed.

“It is alleged that the deceased was attacked and assaulted by angry community members of Homu village section 14C in the Giyani policing area,” said Ledwaba at the time.
