EFF in the Free State has called for the arrest of a Kroonstad doctor and his grandson who allegedly killed a farm dweller and buried the body in a shallow grave.

The doctor also allegedly fired shots at another farm dweller.

The party’s Provincial Secretary Bosanku Msimanga says they want the grandson to be arrested and charged with murder, while the doctor should be arrested for attempted murder and defeating the ends of justice by concealing the body.

Msimanga says it will picket at his surgery on Monday as he has not been arrested.

He adds that they will do whatever is at their disposal to protect the rights of the victim.

“We are legally empowered to publicly arrest of course guided by the Criminal Procedure Act. So, we are not ruling the possibility during the picketing, if we are to meet him whether in the toilet or we meet him in the streets or meet him in the tuckshop, wherever we meet him, we are not ruling out the possibility of publicly arresting him, legally of course,” says Msimanga.
