Six men aged between 22 and 26 are expected to make their first appearance in the Vryburg Magistrates’ Court on Monday 4 April 2022 for murder.
Lt. Col. Amanda Funani, police spokesperson, says the suspects’ court appearance emanates from an incident in which the lifeless body of a 30-year-old, Luckyboy Mereekae, was found at the corner of Vry and De Kock Streets in Vryburg with several stab wounds on Saturday morning 2 April 2022.
