South African Police Service (SAPS) officers, along with forensic technicians, carry a victim’s body into a forensic pathology service vehicle at Jumpers informal settlement in Cleveland, east of Johannesburg, on June 10, 2026.
JOHANNESBURG - Three suspects in the deadly Cleveland mass shooting return to the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court on Thursday to seek bail.
They face 13 murder and 14 attempted murder charges after gunmen allegedly opened fire at Jumpers informal settlement, in Johannesburg last month, killing 13 people.
At their last appearance, the accused denied confessing, claiming police assaulted them and forced them to sign statements. The State is expected to oppose bail as the case unfolds.
