The Primrose police were recently summoned to the Makause informal settlement.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe officers were told that a man was being attacked by a group of assailants,\u201d explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>
When they arrived on scene they found a man lying naked on the ground covered with a piece of burnt plastic.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe victim was badly burnt and paramedics were called to the scene,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>
Paramedics declared the man dead on the scene and a murder docket was opened by the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
Three men, aged between 32 and 46 years old, were soon arrested for the alleged murder.<\/p>\n
They were taken to the Primrose Police Station.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are once again appealing to our community to not take the law into their own hands and report all criminal activities to the police,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n
The suspects appeared in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court, where their case was postponed for a bail application.<\/p>\n
