Free State police arrest murder and robbery suspect who fled court in 2015.
A 49-year-old fugitive wanted for a 2007 murder and robbery has been arrested in North West after evading authorities for more than a decade.
Patrick Machuto was arrested on Tuesday evening by members of the Free State Provincial Tracking and Tracing Team after evading authorities since 2015.
Free State police spokesperson Sergeant Mahlomola Kareli said the arrest marked the end of the suspect's decade-long run from the law.
Kareli said Machuto had been on the run since 2015 after failing to honour his court appearances in connection with a 2007 murder and robbery case registered in the Kopanong area of Bloemfontein.
