Police have launched a manhunt in Daveyton after a man was burnt to death at the Qalabusha informal settlement in Ekurhuleni.
Police spokesperson Sgt Constance Moalusi said the man was beaten up by a mob near the Metrorail train station on allegations that he was trying to rob individuals walking to the train station in the early hours of Monday morning.
Moalusi said a resident called and alerted the police. “On arrival at the scene the police were welcomed by a flame of tyres on top of the alleged robber." Moalusi said the woman who called about the killing told police she heard a noise near her shack and when she went to check she saw a group of people who were beating up the alleged robber, then necklaced him with a tyre and set him alight.
Daveyton police station commander, Lt-Col Kasivan Chittiah, said he condemned the behaviour of the residents to continually take the law into their own hands.Moalusi said the police are investigating a case of murder and pleaded with anyone who has information to come to the station or contact the police.
