The suspects appeared in court on Thursday for a bail application, which has been postponed to next week.

Mpumalanga's acting Police Commissioner Major General Zeph Mkhwanazi said a lot of processes need to be performed to identify the victims.

"We will allow the investigation to take place and we hope without doubt more information will come forward," he said.
