Two suspects added to Wynberg court 'hit' case in Cape Town
Two more suspects appeared briefly in the Wynberg magistrate's court on Friday on charges related to a brazen 'assassination' inside the same building in Cape Town.
Brian Booysen, 34, and Wanay Fararo, 22, were arrested on Thursday and face charges in terms of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act.
Booysen and Fararo face the same charges as co-accused Shireen Matthews, 35, and Abubaker Adams, 24, who appeared in court on Wednesday.
Booysen and Fararo said they would be represented by a private legal representative.
The state alleges the four:
aided and abetted criminal gang activities in association with the Junky Funky Kidz gang;
were implicated in the premeditated murder of former taxi owner Dingalomoya Chintso; and
were in illegal possession of firearms and ammunition.
Chintso, 50, was shot dead in the court building by gunmen who bypassed security, shot him and escaped on April 8. At the time he faced charges of murder and the illegal possession of a firearm.
