International spies‚ murdered hitmen‚ war crimes suspects‚ Western Cape nightclubs and corrupt government officials.

These are the seemingly unrelated clues that South African State Security Agency officials are looking at to try to help their Serbian counterparts identify and locate the killers of one of the SSA’s top intelligence contract agents‚ Gorgi “George” Darmanovic.

The SSA is probing a possible link between Darmanovic’s murder and a hit in Johannesburg two weeks ago on a man called Milan “Miki” Djuricic.

Intelligence sources told Times Select it is believed that Darmanovic knew the identity if Djuricic’s killers; and that could be why Darmonovic was murdered.
