Two suspects arrested for for double murder

RUSTENBURG – The arrest of the two suspects, aged 29 and 41, is as a result of excellent crime intelligence work in identifying, locating and tracking the vehicle that was used to flee from the crime scene. The vehicle was traced, found and seized at Ndamoyi, Boitekong.

Upon being questioned by the police, the first suspect conceded that on that fateful day he was traveling in and driving the Kia Rio vehicle and that he was with his friend who was the one who allegedly shot the elderly couple before they fled from the scene.

He then took the police to Rustenburg East where his accomplice is staying. The police upon arrival found the second person who showed them a pistol. The suspect was immediately placed under arrest and the firearm seized.

It is expected that the suspects will appear before the Rustenburg Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, 19 June 2025, to face two counts of murder.

Major General Asaneng said: “These swift arrests should send a strong message to those who commit crime that the police in the province will relentlessly track them down and that they will have no place to hide.”
