No further arrests have been made in connection with the murder of mining magnate Brett Kebble, police said on Tuesday.
”There have been no arrests and if there was an arrest then the media would know about it,” national police spokesperson Director Sally de Beer said.
She could not say whether there had been any new developments in the case since the arrest last week of Glenn Agliotti.
”We would not be giving any information on the investigation. We have made that quite clear,” she said.
Scorpions spokesperson Makhosini Nkosi said: ”There’s nothing to report today [Tuesday]”.
Agliotti was arrested last Thursday morning and he appeared in court the same afternoon.
After Agliotti’s appearance Nkosi told the media that more arrests were expected.
He said Agliotti’s arrest was part of a continuing probe into organised crime.
”There will be more arrests which would be best dealt with in a cooperative relationship between the Directorate of Special Operations [the Scorpions] and the SA Police Service.”
Agliotti will appear in court again on December 8 when he is expected to apply for bail. He will remain in custody at the Sandton police station.
There have been allegations that Agliotti, reportedly a friend of police commissioner Jackie Selebi, is a kingpin in a drug syndicate and that his code name is ”the Landlord”.
Kebble was shot dead in his car in Johannesburg’s northern suburbs last year. – Sapa
