 Three arrested in South Africa over massacre of 18 relatives


South African police have arrested three people in connection with the massacre of 18 relatives that took place in a remote town last week following a manhunt, the police say.


Police Minister Senzo Mchunu confirmed the arrests during the memorial service for the 18 victims on Sunday, in the town of Lusikisiki, in the Eastern Cape, where the killings happened, according to BBC.


He added that the arrest of a fourth suspect would be announced soon.


Shockwaves erupted across South Africa when gunmen opened fire on two homes, killing fifteen women and three men. Several were shot in the head.


The victims were aged from 14 to 64 years old, according to local newspaper Dispatch Live.


Mchunu said the police are still trying to “piece together” a motive for the killings.


The attack happened when the family had gathered for a traditional ceremony.


The three suspects will appear in court on Monday to hear their charges.


This massacre has shocked South Africa, adding to calls for more police protection.


South Africa has one of the highest murder rates in the world, according to the latest figures from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
