Media Statement WESTERN CAPE – A 38-year-old suspect is expected to make his first court appearance in the Bellville Magistrates’ court after he was arrested on murder and attempted murder charges relating to a robbery of a bread truck in Delft on 15 May 2024 in Symphony Way, Delft. During the initial stage of the investigation, the suspect was identified but evaded arrests after many tracing operations were initiated. On 16 June 2024, the investigating team followed up on information that the suspect was at the Delft Day Hospital for medical treatment after he was involved in a scuffle with community members who accused him of robbery. The investigating team visited the hospital, recognised the suspect and placed him under arrest even though he provided false name and details to the hospital administrators. The suspect is due to appear in court on 19 June 2024, facing charges of murder, attempted murder and robbery aggravated. The suspect and his accomplices robbed a bread delivery truck in Symphony Way, Delft on Thursday, 16 May 2024, and fatally wounded the two staff members in the vehicle. The accomplices of the suspect are still to be arrested. Ends
