Four men who escaped from the Sterkfontein Psychiatric Hospital in Krugersdorp on Saturday are still on the run, West Rand police said on Monday.
Two men, Adrian Cloete (21) and Louis Visagie (24), were re-arrested in the veld near Ventersdorp on Saturday afternoon.
Donovan Cloete (43) Jaime Mandlazi (24) Solomon Mokalake (30) and Jack Mothibedi (25) are still at large, police spokesperson Captain Paula Nothnagel said.
The six had been detained at the hospital for psychiatric evaluation.
They escaped in the early hours of Saturday morning by breaking a wall next to their bedroom window with a plumbing pipe.
Nothnagel said the men were due to appear in court in October and November on charges of murder, attempted murder and rape and warned the public to exercise caution. – Sapa
