Investigators hunt suspects in Kruger Park killing of elderly tourists.
The South African Police Service (SAPS) has confirmed the arrest of a third suspect linked to the brutal murder of a couple in the Kruger National Park last month.
This comes after a cross-border manhunt involving law enforcement agencies from South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
In a statement issued on Friday, Acting National Commissioner Lieutenant General Puleng Dimpane praised the regional cooperation between SAPS, SANParks, Mozambique’s Criminal Investigation Directorate (SERNIC), and the Zimbabwe Republic Police, describing the arrest as a major breakthrough in combating transnational crime.
The latest suspect, identified as 26-year-old Mozambican national Macandze Lionel da Marta, was arrested in Zimbabwe after allegedly fleeing Mozambique to evade capture.
