SOUTH African Minister of Police, Senzo Mchunu said the arrest of the suspects involved in the death of two women whose decomposed bodies were found with gunshot wounds in a pigsty is a step towards justice for the victims and their families.
Maria Makgato and Kudzai Ndlovu were shot two weeks ago and their decomposed bodies were thrown in a pigsty at a farm in Sebayeng, near Polokwane.
The bodies of the victims were found in a badly decomposed state with some of their intestines already exposed after a man who was also shot and injured alerted the police.
Zachariah Olivier (60), a farmer, and his two employees Adriaan De Wet (19), and William Musoro (45), a foreign national, were arrested after the discovery of the bodies.
They appeared in the Mankweng Magistrates Court last week facing charges of two counts of murder, one count of attempted murder, possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition, defeating the ends of justice.
Musoro, who is an illegal immigrant was also charged with contravention of the Immigration Act.
