Shadreck Mhetu (30), charged in connection with the death of Desmond Share (53) made his court appearance today, 15 August 2023 and was remanded in custody. The case was postponed until 22 August 2023 for a formal bail application.
Meanwhile, Mossel Bay Magistrates’ court issued warrants of arrest for two more suspects. Investigation into the murder case positively linked Shown Gondo (31) and Akim Gondo (25) to the disappearance of the deceased. Photographs of the men are attached.
The investigation officer, Warrant Officer Arleen Stokes, kindly requests the public to come forward with any information which could lead to the arrest of the two men by calling her at the Da Gamaskop Detectives on 044 606 2213 or 061 317 2239.

Furthermore, the Ford Ranger bakkie stolen at the time was also recovered at Ficksburg near the Lesotho border on 08 August 2023. The two accused found in the possession of the vehicle already made their first court appearances on a charge of possession of a stolen vehicle each. They were remanded in custody and are expected to appear in the local court on Thursday, 17 August 2023 for a formal bail application. There is no evidence that they are linked to the murder case.
This is an ongoing police investigation.
