This, after they accused him of stealing from them.

According to police spokesperson Mmako Mophiring, the body of a man with multiple visible injuries was found upon the police’s arrival at the crime scene.

Emergency Medical Service declared him dead on the scene.

An eyewitness alleges the nine suspects arrived at the victim’s residence and started beating him until he fell unconscious.

The suspects, aged between 21 and 39, will appear before the Tseki Magistrate court on Wednesday, 5 January 2022.

They face charges of murder.

"No one has a right to assault anyone, however you have a right as a community member to make use of the 'citizen arrest' where you handover a suspect of that nature to the police, so that the suspect can be investigated and arrested should they be guilty. We urge our community members to refrain from taking the law in their own hands."
