Free State police have arrested two suspects following the robbery and gruesome murder of an elderly couple at a farm in Bloemhof.
Spokesperson Sergeant Mahlomola Kareli says they were arrested on Friday night by the provincial serious and violent crime unit.
He said acting on intelligence led information, police traveled to a guesthouse in Bloemhof, and at around 11pm, the two males aged 26 and 39 were arrested.
Two cell phones belonging to the victims were found in their possession.
The two will appear in the Bloemfontein magistrates court soon and will face robbery and murder charges.
The victims have been identified as Christo and Crista Morrison, aged 76 and 73 respectively.
Free State Provincial Commissioner Lieutenat General Baile Motswenyane lauded "the excellent investigative work displayed by the team and appreciated the numerous calls received with information from the community at large on the matter".
