Chad Thomas, an organised and financial crime investigator, said incidents such as the Glebelands Hostel killings are now a common-place occurrence and that the state had to invest more resources into the investigation and prosecution of crime.

Seven people killed, while two are fighting for their lives in hospital.
In the early hours of Saturday morning, a group of men were drinking in one of the rooms at the hostel when a group stormed and shot at them.
