Police have launched a massive manhunt for four men believed to be linked to an Eastern Cape massacre that left 18 people dead.
The victims were shot dead in two homesteads in Ngobozana village in Lusikisiki two weeks ago.
On Tuesday, the man accused of gunning down the family members abandoned his bail application at the local court.
SAPS says they're investigations are now at an advanced stage.
