Still no arrests for Durban mosque attacks

A week after what has since been confirmed as a bomb was found at a mosque in Ottawa - near Verulam, north of Durban -  police say no arrests have been made.

The device was found under the chair of the moulana, at the Imam Hussain Mosque, last Sunday.

This just days after a group of knife-wielding men stormed the premises - killing one man, Abbas Essop, and leaving two others hurt.

Essop's brother, Farouk Essop says the family want justice for his brother.

“It is definitely concerning that they have not made any arrests yet,” he says, “The police have been very guarded with their findings, understandably so”.

Farouk says his brother’s wife is in the process of coming to terms with what happened.

He says the couple’s two children are still distraught but that they are beginning to understand it.
