Vehicle found in Hennops River that of police officers found dead, SAPS confirms

  • On 1 May 2025, authorities recovered a Volkswagen Polo from a river in Centurion, confirming it was the vehicle associated with three missing constables whose bodies had been found nearby.
  • On 23 April, the three SAPS constables—Cebekhulu Linda, Keamogetswe Buys, and Boipelo Senoge—went missing shortly after their vehicle's tracking system and mobile devices stopped transmitting near an Engen fuel station.
  • Search efforts included divers from SAPS and emergency services who found vehicle parts like bumpers and a reflector jacket linked to the Polo about 4 km from the N1.
  • Brigadier Athlenda Mathe confirmed the vehicle identity by chassis and VIN, noting the officers’ bodies were found at different river locations and urging the public not to speculate.
  • The recovered vehicle is crucial to the ongoing investigation into the officers’ alleged kidnapping and hijacking, while families have been notified and funeral arrangements remain pending.
