The alleged mastermind behind the horrific double murder of a couple from Great Brak River more than two years ago, has been arrested.
The suspect, Steven Lekoro, fled to Lesotho after the murder of 72-year old Tewie and 62-year-old Eurika Human in June 2016.
Tewie was hit with a panga and Eurika was stabbed with a knife.
Lekoro worked for the Humans at their home in Sandhoogte Road.
Police spokesperson, Capt Malcolm Pojie says he was arrested in Bloemfontein during the course of the week, following an investigation in conjunction with Interpol.
"Thereafter, he was transferred to Great Brak River police station, where he is currently being detained. He is expected to appear in the Mossel Bay Magistrate's Court on Monday," he said.
Lekoro's friend, the 27-year-old Thamsanqa Sishuba is serving two life sentences for his part in the murders, following his conviction last September.
