The Citizen reports that the investigation into the tragic deaths of three young police constables whose bodies were recovered from the Hennops River is still ongoing.
This was revealed following questions about the investigation from the families of constables Keamogetswe Buys, 30, Boipelo Senoge, 20, and Cebekhulu Linda, 24, whose bodies were retrieved from the river along the N1 North in Centurion, days after they were reported missing. National police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe said the investigation remained active and was receiving focused attention.
“Both SAPS (SA Police Service) and private specialists have submitted reports as prescribed. Preliminary post-mortem reports have been received, but the final reports, which will include blood alcohol results, toxicology and histology, are still awaited. These findings are critical before the investigation can be concluded,” Mathe advised. She added that analysis of physical evidence was also still underway.
The trio was motoring from Bloemfontein to their area of deployment in Limpopo in April when they went missing. Theit last known location was at the Engen garage near the Grasmere toll plaza on the N1 south of Joburg. Their lifeless bodies were recovered days later from the Hennops River.
