Nelspruit –
The
Provincial Commissioner of Mpumalanga has expressed his concern over the
release of, Mr Sanele Godfrey Sambo (22) known as “Spykos”, on free bail by Magistrate
Brian Mogale of Kabokweni Magistrate’s Court last week on
Friday.
Mogale agreed with the defence lawyer Mr Khoza and decided to release
the accused on free bail without bail application on new facts.
Sambo “Spykos” was arrested on Friday, June 7, 2013, after police in
Mpumalanga received a tip off and immediately headed to where he was hiding at
Prinsloo Street, Pretoria Central around 18:30.
He was facing five (5) charges in total, two
(2) murder, one (1) business
robbery, two (2) possession of unlicensed
firearms and ammunition. He firstly appeared before the Kabokweni
Magistrate’s Court on Monday 10th of June 2013.
The Provincial Commissioner of Mpumalanga, Lieutenant General Thulani
Ntobela has expressed his concerns over how Sambo was mysteriously released on
a free bail. “The police had worked tirelessly in ensuring that the suspect had
been arrested after he (Spykos) ran away from his evil actions. I am very much
disappointed by the release and we (SAPS) will investigate if there was any
form of unfair collusion, either by the police or anyone, and get to the bottom
of this matter. This suspect had terrorised the community and he cannot just be
released like that” said the Provincial Commissioner.
