GEORGE NEWS - The three suspects that were arrested in connection with the bombing of the Go George bus in Pacaltsdorp earlier this month have been released.
The men from Pacaltsdorp were arrested in the early hours of Wednesday, 29 March.
They were expected to make their first appearance in the George Magistrate’s Court this morning, but the case was not enrolled in court due to a lack of evidence at this stage.
Sgt Chris Spies, the Southern Cape police spokesperson, said they are awaiting outstanding reports, which includes DNA reports and that the investigation into the matter continues.
Eleven people were hospitalised with moderate to serious burns after two petrol bombs hit the bus on Wednesday 1 March. The bus was travelling down Protea Road exiting New Dawn Park to take commuters to work.
One of the bombs was thrown through a window on the driver's side in the back section of the bus and ended up in the middle of the aisle.
