JOHANNESBURG – Limpopo police on Thursday arrested five suspects, ages 25 to 56, in connection with the execution-style shooting of two businesswomen in Polokwane.
The suspects were caught at different addresses in Gauteng in the early hours of the morning.
It is understood that the husband of one of the murdered women was also handcuffed at the hospital where he was admitted after he allegedly tried to kill himself.
The women were killed in a hail of bullets last week outside a warehouse when they were attacked by unknown gunmen.
Police spokesman Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo said that a vehicle, two firearms and 13 rounds of live ammunition were seized during the arrest.
“The deceased, Makoena Mabusela-Leshabane, 46, and Tebogo Mphuti, 35, were shot and killed in execution-style in Magnavia, Polokwane,” Mojapelo said in a statement.
“The suspects will also be charged with possession of illegal firearms and ammunition. They will appear in the Polokwane court of first instance on Monday, October 26, 2020 ”.
