Investigative insight: The deliberate isolation of a key suspect reveals ongoing undercover operations and witness protection concerns

The state's insistence on detaining the fourth DJ Sumbody murder suspect at Kgosi Mampuru Prison, while co-accused are held at Johannesburg Correctional Center and Modderbee, exposes delicate investigative strategies. Prosecutors confirmed this separation is critical to 'secure the success of ongoing investigations,' suggesting the suspect may be cooperating with authorities or that prison informants are being utilized.

<p>Correctional services insiders reveal Kgosi Mampuru's Special Care Unit allows for:
1. Restricted communication with outside networks
2. Enhanced monitoring of visitor interactions
3. Psychological profiling unavailable at other facilities

This tactical move mirrors approaches in high-profile cases like the Moerane Commission hits, where isolated suspects provided breakthrough evidence. With the suspect's bail hearing pending, investigators are racing to consolidate testimony that could unravel the entire assassination network.
