Three policemen and two women accused of killing a man were released on a warning by the Sebokeng Magistrate's Court on Thursday.
Warrant Officer Johannes Tshukudu, 37, of the Vereeniging Crime Intelligence Unit, Sergeant Johannes Khambule, 55, and Constable Sindisiwa Nkosi, 27, both from Evaton, were arrested on Thursday, said Independent Complaints Directorate spokesman Moses Dlamini.
They are accused of killing Lehlohonolo Letsaba, 27, in Evaton, in the Vaal Triangle, in September and of assaulting two of his friends.
The two women arrested with them allegedly took part in the assault.
Letsaba and his two were accused of breaking into a house belonging to an attorney, said Dlamini.
Two other policemen, Moses Machobane and Joseph Tladi of the Vaal Triangle flying squad, and an attorney were arrested in September by the police before the ICD took over the investigation.
They were out on bail, said Dlamini. - Sapa
