Saps await final reports in case of officers who died in Hennops river accident

Police say they are making headway in the investigation into the deaths of three police officers whose bodies were recovered in the Hennops River in Centurion, Gauteng.

The bodies were retrieved in April this year after the group was reported missing.

Constables Cebekhulu Linda, Keamogetswe Buys, and Boipelo Senoge were last seen travelling from Bloemfontein to Limpopo on a work assignment.

It is believed that the vehicle they were travelling in plunged into the river.

Police say preliminary post-mortem reports have been released, while final reports are still awaited.

“Given the nature of the outstanding reports, it is not possible at this stage to provide a timeframe for the completion of the investigation. What can be confirmed is that the matter is progressing, and all necessary expertise is being applied to ensure a thorough and credible outcome,” Police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe said.
