Pretoria - The Hawks on Tuesday arrested three Born to Kill (BTK) gang members for murder in Bloemfontein.
Last month, the suspects allegedly attacked a 22-year-old man at a shop in Freedom Square, Bloemfontein.
They stabbed him with knives and other sharp objects and he died on the scene, the Hawks said.
The three suspects are joining Mosweu Samson (22), Tokelo George (24), Thabiso Martin (25) and Thabang Hige (20), who are still in custody following their arrest for the same matter.
Provincial Acting Head of the Hawks in the Free State, Brigadier Tsokolo Posholi, commended all members who worked tirelessly to bring the suspects book.
“These arrests are a clear indication that the police will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that criminals are arrested and successfully imprisoned,” said Posholi.
The suspects will appear before the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday facing a murder charge.
Three gangs, BTK, Triple Six (666) and Maroma have been involved in territorial clashes in the area. - SAnews.gov.za
