North West police have confirmed that nine people have been arrested for the murder of late apartheid struggle stalwart Ahmed Kathrada’s nephew and his son.
Police say a task team consisting of the provincial organized crime unit, tactical response, crime intelligence and local detectives was established on Saturday to probe the incident.
It’s understood the officers followed up on information which led them to arrest of the nine suspects this week of which seven were nabbed in Schweizer-Reneke and two in Taung.
Sixty-five-year-old Yunus Kathrada and his 28-year-old son, Moulana Ahmed Kathrada, were killed by two armed suspects during an apparent house robbery in Schweizer-Reneke last week Thursday.
The police’s Adele Myburg says police also seized two vehicles and a firearm that may be linked to the murder.
“These nine suspects are aged between the ages of 16 and 18. They will be appearing in the Schweizer-Reneke court the 7th of November. The charges against them are two counts of murder as well as one count of attempted robbery.”
