Mob justice: Two men brutally hacked to death, burnt in Limpopo for stock theft
Two men have been killed in what appears to be mob justice-related murders in Limpopo on Monday.
According to police spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo, the men were hacked to death and burnt at the Sebjeng village in Ga-Molepo. The charred bodies of the deceased were found by the police on Tuesday.
"The deceased were allegedly kidnapped on Monday by community members from different villages of Ga-Molepo, apparently accusing them of stock theft," Mojapelo said in a statement.
"They then took them to a community hall at Sebjeng Ga-Molepo where they were severely assaulted.
"The victims were thereafter taken to the bushes next to the old Setlakalane High School where they were burnt. A motor vehicle belonging to one of the deceased was also found torched a few kilometres from the scene.
