Autopsy reveals St Francis Bay businessman suffocated to death


St Francis Bay detectives say they will be making more arrests in connection with last week's death of local resident and retired businessman, 76-year-old Duncan Lethbridge.

This followed the arrest of a 35-year-old local man on Monday.

According to the post mortem, Lethbridge suffocated to death after being tied and gagged with a cloth in his mouth during a home-invasion by two men who accosted him, his wife and house-keeper late last Thursday afternoon.

Cash and valuables were stolen during the robbery.

Police spokesperson, Captain Gerda Swart, says the suspect will face charges of murder and house-robbery.

She says more arrests are imminent.
