News24Wire reports that three men are expected to appear in the Brits Magistrate’s Court on Monday for allegedly killing a security guard during a robbery at a farm in the North West on Wednesday.
The incident took place at a smallholding in Remhoogte, Hartbeespoortdam, where the lifeless body of Samuel Maposa, 41, was discovered by his colleagues in a ditch about 50 meters away from a storeroom. Police spokesperson Colonel Adéle Myburgh said Maposa suffered multiple facial and head injuries and his hands and feet were tied up. A preliminary police investigation revealed that two storage doors had been forced open and some agricultural chemicals with an estimated value of R30,000 were missing.

Similarly, the second suspect was also found and arrested in his house in Shamburg informal settlement. The third suspect was arrested at his place in Tornado Section, Bapong Village near Brits,” said Myburgh.
