Two dudes got busted after a brutal trap killed a driver in Limpopo. Police grabbed the pair linked to stabbing Philip Mabusha while he sat in a red Ford Ranger near Westenburg. Officers discovered him slumped behind the wheel with nasty chest wounds on a gravel road around the Ivydale area. Paramedics arrived fast but pronounced him gone immediately.
Spokesperson Hlulani Mashaba hinted that the attackers lured Mabusha there to discuss price quotes before things went south. Nobody knows exactly what happened right before the violence started. Angry locals actually caught one suspect and beat him up pretty badly before cops showed up to intervene.
That injured guy remains stuck in a hospital bed under guard, while the second dude got picked up shortly after. Authorities opened murder dockets for them and assault charges for the mob who dished out street justice. Officials warned the public to stop playing vigilante and let detectives handle the work properly.
The motive stays a mystery for the moment while the investigation presses forward. Both men face the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court very soon to answer for the crime.
