South African police started a manhunt to capture three men suspected of murdering national soccer team skipper Senzo Meyiwa two days ago, prompting calls for tougher gun laws.
The police issued composite pictures of two of the suspects in the hope that residents of Vosloorus, a township east of Johannesburg, where the killing occurred, would recognize them.
"We believe that the people in the community will know who these suspects are," police spokesman Neville Malila said on Johannesburg-based eNCA television. "These photos were compiled with the help of witnesses that were at the crime scene and now it is up to the community." Malila didn't immediately answer calls to his mobile phone seeking comment.
