The police have made a swift arrest of two suspects allegedly involved in the murder of 14-year-old Vuyolwethu Ziwela, her police officer uncle Mpho Kgobotlo and his two friends Phomolang Molakapatlo and Thando Dlamini who were killed execution style by heavily armed suspects in Soshanguve?s notorious Jukulyn section on New Year?s day.

Police spokesperson Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi said shortly after midnight, suspects travelling in two cars fired at a group of people who were sitting inside a car outside the 14-year-old victim's home. The owner of the car, a 29-year-old police officer attached to K9 unit at the OR Tambo International Airport was also killed.

"The circumstances that led to the shooting are unknown at this stage and two suspects have been arrested. The police request anyone who may have information that can assist with the investigation to contact the Crime Stop Line."

Gauteng Premier, Panyaza Lesufi, visited Jukulyn after tbe incident and expressed shock over the alarming crime rate in the area.

"Police have made a major breakthrough, two of the suspects were arrested in the early hours of Tuesday and police have indicated to me that they are looking for other suspects. They are convinced that after processing and dealing with the matter with those arrested they will know the motive behind this attack."

He added that that a strategy on how the area is policed is needed.

?They've got 331 active cases. This area alone is an indication that we need to overhaul how we are policing this community. There is a common case where people advertise the sale of cars online and when people come to buy, they pounce on them. The police gave me a breakdown of almost 118 cases of people they've arrested related to some of these cases.?
