CAPE TOWN  -The police's top brass say while they have made several arrests in connection with the Lusikisiki massacre, one suspect is still at large.  

The police ministry and management briefed the media on the Lusikisiki case in Parliament on Thursday.

The briefing comes after four more suspects linked to the murders of 18 people at Ngobozana village two weeks ago were nabbed on Wednesday.
  
"We still have one of the suspects that is at large..he is still on the run, but we were able to retrieve or confiscate his vehicle and that is how far we are with the investigation," said National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola.
