JOHANNESBURG - Fifteen suspects arrested in connection with the murders and attempted murders at the University of Fort Hare (UFH) are expected to appear in court on Tuesday in the Eastern Cape.

These recent arrests bring the number of accused in the case to 25.

"They will continue to investigate and hunt those who are found to have had a hand in any wrongdoing."
