A 38-year-old man who was arrested in Gqeberha in connection with the murder of a farmer in Rouxville in the Free State appeared in the court on Wednesday.
Police spokesperson, Sergeant Mahlomola Kareli, said Armand Opperman was charged with murder, theft of firearms and a vehicle.
He said his court appearance comes after the body of 62-year-old Lance Da Silva was found with a gunshot wound to the left temple in the main bedroom on the farm, Windpoort, on 4 May.
“Opperman, who was allegedly living with the deceased on the farm, was on the run and arrested in Gqeberha the following day,” he said.
He appeared in court in the City before being transferred to the Free State.
Kareli said Opperman was remanded in custody to 22 May for his next court appearance in Rouxville.
