Johannesburg – Mpumalanga police have launched a manhunt for two dangerous murder suspects who escaped from prison on Tuesday.
Police said Sabelo Nkosi, 24, and Njabulo Nsibande, 27, were arrested for murder, attempted murder, rape and robbery with aggravating circumstances, crimes which were purportedly committed in December 2016.
Mpumalanga police spokesperson Brigadier Leonard Hlathi described the escapees as “dangerous” and urged the public to assist the police with information which could lead to their rearrest.
Hlathi said the two had appeared in the Mpumalanga High Court, sitting at the Breyten Magistrate’s Court, on Monday, before they escaped from custody the following day.
