Police have arrested three more suspects in connection with the prison escape by convicted rapist and murderer Thabo Bester.
The suspects, aged between 37 and 47, are all G4S employees.
One was arrested at his home in Botshabelo, while the other two were nabbed at their place of residence in Bloemfontein on Monday.
National police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe says they all face a charge of assisting an inmate to escape from lawful custody, violation of a corpse and corruption.
Twelve suspects have been arrested so far in the case.
Mathe says the possibility of more arrests cannot be ruled out.
The suspects are expected to appear in the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.
