THE BACK OF THE POLLO HAVE BEEN FOUND.
Police recover car of three dead SAPS officers from Hennops River as investigation continues.
The South African Police have confirmed that the vehicle pulled from the Hennops River in Centurion is the same VW Polo in which three police officers went missing last week.
The South African Police Service (SAPS) on Thursday retrieved the vehicle in which three police constables who had been reported missing were travelling in. The Volkswagen Polo was recovered from the Hennops River in Centurion, two days after the bodies of the three police constables were found.
On Thursday, National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola confirmed that a VW Polo recovered from the Hennops River in Centurion on Thursday was the car in which three SA Police Service (SAPS) constables had been travelling before their bodies were found in the river this week.
The bodies of Linda Cebekhulu (24), Boipelo Senoge (20) and Keamogetswe Buys (30) were among five bodies found in the Hennops River on Tuesday and Wednesday after the police launched a search for the constables, who went missing on 24 April while travelling from Free State to Limpopo.
Police investigations led to the discovery of the bodies alongside a damaged guardrail and vehicle parts suggesting a possible accident. On Thursday, the VW Polo was recovered after water levels dropped and debris in the river was cleared.
“We are going to undertake an investigation of the car so that we can come to a conclusion as to what exactly happened,” said Masemola.
He noted that initial observations suggested the car overturned before hitting a wall and breaking through the barrier into the river.
