Six people, four men and two women, have been arrested for allegedly murdering a man in Pacaltsdorp at George.
Southern Cape police spokesperson Malcolm Pojie says the six were arrested on Friday following the disappearance of Cornelius Jansen in Pacaltsdorp in January.
The suspects are between the ages of 20 and 52.
The arrests followed laboratory results which indicated that skeleton remains found on Jansen's property were indeed human.
He had initially been reported missing in mid-January.
The six suspects are due to appear in the George Magistrate's Court on Monday.
