JOHANNESBURG - Gauteng police have launched a manhunt for the murder suspects of a Soweto tavern tragedy.Police are yet to establish the exact motive for the mass shooting.
Gauteng police commissioner Elias Mawela has urged the team of detectives led by crime detection head Mbuso Khumalo to apprehend the gunmen who killed 15 people at Mdalose’s Tavern in Nomzamo Park.
Mawela said he’s confident there'll be a breakthrough in the case after investigators combed Sunday's crime scene for an hour. “We know it’s their nature, criminals, they will make a mistake and leave some DNA in the crime scene and those things are very much critical for our investigation.”"Each and every bit of information they have or they may remember anything let them approach us let them go to Orlando Police Station and share that information with us we’ll leave no stone unturned.”
At the same time, Gauteng police are also investigating another shooting at a tavern this time in Katlehong.
