Seven more nabbed for Thamaga gang murder

Yesterday, Thamaga police acting commander, Assistant Superintendent Otsile Gaboinewe said the fresh arrests bring to nine the total number of suspects in custody, after the initial arrest of two on Sunday. Residents suspect that the notorious Merubise gang was behind the Saturday night violence, which also landed one woman at Thamaga Hospital with serious injuries. Four families were attacked at the Kgosing ward on the night.  

While members of the community are pointing accusing fingers at the area police alleging laxity in curbing gang related crimes, Gaboinewe has in turn accused residents of harbouring criminals and thus making it difficult for the police to dismantle the gang.
