HUMANSDORP <\/strong>– Five suspects were arrested over the weekend, and are due to appear in Humansdorp Magistrate’s Court today,<\/strong> 2 February, for their alleged involvement in the murder of Deon Du Toit (60), whose body was found on a farm outside Humansdorp on 27 January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As previously reported<\/a>, at about 01:30 on 27 January,<\/strong> police were summoned to a complaint of robbery at a farm along the R102.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the scene they found the lifeless body of a man with open wounds.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to police spokesperson Warrant Officer Majola Nkohli, the five male suspects aged between 22 and 37 were found in possession of items that were presumably stolen during the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The suspects were charged with murder, house robbery,<\/strong> and possession of suspected stolen property,” said Nkohli.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
