A 58-year-old suspect, the owner of the homestead, was arrested and will appear in King William’s Town (Qonce) magistrate’s court soon. 

“A follow-up investigation ensued which led to the arrest of three suspects driving in a suspicious Porsche vehicle with GP registration between Queenstown (Komani) and Cradock,” Mgolodela said.
