Limpopo police have made a breakthrough in the murder of businesswoman Lizette Deacon and her mother Hettie.
Lizette owned the Ocean Basket fast food restaurant at the Mall of the North in Limpopo.
On Sunday morning, two suspects aged 30 and 35 were arrested in connection with the brutal murder of the two women who were murdered at their home in Welgelegen with Cycard in Polokwane last week on Thursday.
Limpopo police spokesman Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo said both suspects were arrested Sunday morning at different locations by a team of high-level investigators led by the deputy provincial commissioner responsible for crime detection, Gen. Samuel Manala division.
“The team met shortly after this incident,” Mojapelo said.
According to Mojapelo, the 30-year-old worked for the family at home, while the 35-year-old also used to do some part-time work for the family.
The first suspect, 35, was arrested in Mokgoopong and the second in Polokwane.
Mojapelo also added that the deceased were assaulted and stabbed by the suspects at their home. They then tied them up and put them in the back of their SUV.
The vehicle was found abandoned along the R37 road between Polokwane and Lebowakgomo that same night.
The suspects will appear in Polokwane magistrates court on Tuesday, facing charges of two counts of murder and burglary.
Mojapelo said the 35-year-old suspect will also face a charge under immigration law as he is in the country illegally. He said the investigation team has already identified other suspects and that the search operation is continuing, assuring that more arrests are imminent.
