Gauteng police have arrested two suspects in connection with the murders of 19-year old Johanco Fleischman and his 24-year old girlfriend Jessica Kuhn in May last year.
They were shot and killed on the Putfontein off-ramp on the N12 in Benoni after their vehicle ran out of fuel.
Police spokesperson, Captain Kay Makhubele says an intelligence-driven operation led to the arrest of two suspects on Thursday.
He says it is alleged that the victims were waiting for help when they were attacked, robbed, and brutally killed by unknown suspects, and their vehicle was partly burnt.
No firearms were recovered during the arrests.
Makhubele says the suspects will be profiled to check whether they could be linked to other serious and violent crimes.
