JOHANNESBURG - Mpumalanga police are on the hunt for six suspects who allegedly cut the arms of a 30-year-old man during an abduction near Witbank.
Officials say the incident took place this past week, when the man was forced into a bakkie with his hands and feet bound.
It is alleged that they later cut off his arms and fled the scene, taking off with the body parts.
Police say the victim is recovering in hospital.
Provincial police spokesperson Donald Mdluli said a case of attempted murder was being investigated.
"This act has been strongly condemned by police and we will work hard to ensure that the suspects are found."
