The Citizen reports that police assigned to the case of convicted rapist and murderer Thabo Bester have arrested three more G4S employees in the matter.
Police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe indicated: “All three are male and are all G4S employees. One suspect was arrested at his home in Botshabelo, while the other two were arrested at their place of residence – also in Bloemfontein. All three were arrested on Monday evening.” Mathe said the trio was expected to appear before the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday. They will face charges of assisting an inmate to escape from lawful custody, violation of a corpse and corruption. To date, police have arrested 12 suspects involved in Bester’s escape. Earlier this month, nine suspects appeared in court facing multiple charges related to Bester’s escape from the Mangaung Correctional Centre in May last year, after he faked his death. The co-accused included the convict’s alleged girlfriend and accomplice, Dr Nandipha Magudumana and her father Zolile Cornelius Sekeleni. Bester and Magadumana were arrested on 7 April 2023 in Tanzania, after they fled the hotel they had been staying in. During their arrest, the couple was found with several passports with multiple identities in their possession.
