Siblings arrested in connection with #TripleMurders
Two additional suspects have been added to the list of accused.
The News just learned that the 20-year-old male and 18-year-old female who were arrested shortly after midnight this morning in connection with the murder of three Krugersdorp residents, are brother and sister.
What’s even more alarming is the fact that the mother of the siblings was also arrested, but on drug related charges.
The mother has been released on bail after appearing in court this morning, but the siblings will appear, together with the two men accused of murdering Anthony Scholefield, Kevin McAlpine and Hanle Lategan, in court on Monday, 27 June.

The state asked for the bail application for the 28-year-old and 32-year-old accused to be postponed to make way for the two new suspects.
The News is also aware that police detectives will be working around the clock this weekend to build a proper investigation.
