“This homicide appears to be the culmination of a long-standing land dispute between members of the same large extended family. There have been checks previously even though investigations are ongoing, this is what we know at the moment. We are just asking for cool heads to prevail.”

“We are asking that nobody should try a reprisal attack. I am asking everybody to allow the Police to carry out their investigation. Let us trust the Police to conduct a swift investigation.”
