No arrests have been made following the killing of six people in Khutsong near Carletonville, Gauteng police said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“No arrest has been made. Investigations are continuing,” said Captain Jabulani Kundethe.<\/p>\n

He said no violence was reported since Monday.<\/p>\n

“The situation is calm, no incident has been reported.”<\/p>\n

The six were killed after about 400 men, believed to be Khutsong residents, held a meeting to discuss gangsterism on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The men separated into different groups.<\/p>\n

One group attacked a 61-year-old traditional healer, and set him and his house alight. The man died on the scene.<\/p>\n

Other groups from the meeting targeted two young men, allegedly members of a gang, who were assaulted and set alight. They also died at the scene.<\/p>\n

Two other alleged gang members were stoned. One died on the scene and the other died in hospital.<\/p>\n

The body of a sixth man was found on Sunday night. He had been set alight. – Sapa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
