Ernst Marais (71) and Dina (73).
Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment Willie Aucamp has confirmed the arrest of two suspects in Mozambique in connection with the murder of Mossel Bay couple Dina and Ernst Marais in the Kruger National Park nearly two weeks ago.
“We said that these criminals would be apprehended and that is exactly what has happened,” said Aucamp.
He thanked all those involved for their “tireless and collaborative” efforts in securing the breakthrough.
The arrests followed coordinated cross-border operations involving the South African Police Service (SAPS), Mozambican law enforcement authorities, SANParks, Mozambique’s criminal investigation unit Sernic, the Wildlife Justice Commission and Kruger National Park ranger services.
