Two suspects have been arrested in connection with the brutal murder of Free State farm manager, Brandin Horner.
Police said in a statement that the arrests were made on Saturday by Senekal detectives at Fateng tse Ntho in Paul Roux.
"Bloodstained clothes and shoes were found and will be taken in for forensic tests," said Brigadier Motantsi Makhele.
"The two men are alleged to be stock thieves and it is suspected that the deceased could have spotted them on that fateful day," he said.
Makhele said Horner's body was found on De Rots farm on Friday "with injuries to the head and face".
"A knife was seized from the scene and his Toyota Hilux was later found with bloodstains abandoned near Duikfontein Farm in Paul Roux."
The two suspects aged 32 and 43 will appear in Senekal Magistrate court on Tuesday on a charge of murder.
