Police Chief Vows Weekend Arrest in DJ Warras Killing

The pledge follows public grief as the case refocuses attention on hijacked buildings.

Overview

  • National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola said a suspect has been identified and promised an arrest before Monday, calling it imminent.
  • Gauteng police reported no arrests to date and disputed claims of people taken for questioning, after a City official said JMPD had questioned four tenants.
  • CCTV footage cited by police shows a short man with dreadlocks walking up to Warrick Stock outside the Zambezi Building, firing, and fleeing.
  • Stock had obtained multiple protection orders while working through his firm Imperium to secure the privately owned building, which the city says did not contract his company.
  • Mourners gathered in Sandton for a memorial as the March and March movement held protests in Durban urging emergency measures and military action on hijacked buildings and borders.
