AK-47 used in DJ Sumbody's murder linked to 3 more killings, including DJ Vintos
Police have linked the same AK-47 used in the high-profile murder of South African musician DJ Sumbody to more additional killings.
The South African Police Service (SAPS) has confirmed that the AK-47 used in the killing of popular musician DJ Sumbody has now been linked to three additional murders, including that of Soweto-based Hector 'DJ Vintos' Buthelezi.
Businessman Katiso Molefe, former police officer Michael Pule Tau, Tiego Floyd Mabusela, and Musa Kekana appeared in the Alexander Magistrate's Court in Johannesburg on Tuesday morning.
Three of the four men accused in the assassination of DJ Sumbody, whose real name was Oupa John Sefoka, now also face an additional charge related to the murder of Don Tindleni.
All four are charged with DJ Vintos' murder.
DJ Vintos was gunned down in March 2022 outside a nightclub in Orlando East, Soweto.
Speaking outside the court, national police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe said the suspects were traveling in a BMW X3 at the time of the shooting.
