While the search for 22-year-old Nick Frischke continues, the Hout Bay Community Policing Forum has confirmed the group’s appearance after items belonging to the tourist were found in their possession last week.
“We can confirm that three suspects in the disappearance of Nick Frischke appeared in court yesterday and they have admitted to robbing Mr Frischke,” read a post on the policing forum’s Facebook page this morning. “Two more suspects will appear in court today. The victims backpack and cellphone were recovered as well as a knife.”
Last week, Hout Bay Community Crime Prevention confirmed that Frischke was last spotted alone on the Hangberg trail. Searches were also conducted by the NSRI, a Western Cape Government Health EMS rescue squad drone team, an Emergency Medical Services rescue squad trail search and rescue team, a police K9 search and rescue team, WSAR members and WSAR K9 search and rescue.
Taking to Facebook, the Hout Bay Community Policing Forum denied rumours that Frischke had been found, adding that there had been a massive effort from authorities and volunteer services to find him.
