Durban – Police

police holding cells on Sunday.
Police spokesperson Colonel Jay Naicker said the men escaped from the
Bellair police holding cells.
Naicker said: “Police officers did their routine-check at the police
cells when they discovered that Vusi Gumede, Bheki Nkosi and Siya Dlamini had
escaped. The detainees allegedly dig a hole on the wall of the cell.”
“Gumede was arrested for murder, Nkosi was detained for possession of
firearm and Dlamini was arrested for possession of stolen property,” Naicker

“A case of escaping from lawful custody has been opened at Bellair

as possible.”

“We will make sure that we catch and arrest these criminals, we will use
all our resources and expertise to put them behind bars so that they can face
the consequences of their actions.”
