Alleged graveyard killers arrested
Police in Limpopo have arrested four suspects in connection with the murder of two people at a funeral in Limpopo.
The suspects allegedly burnt the bodies, threw them into a grave, put a coffin on top and buried the victims.
Limpopo police spokesperson Moatshe' Ngoepe says the group responsible for the murders was nabbed by a task team on Saturday.
Ngoepe says it's understood that the Ga-Mashamothane community was burying the deceased's wife when the suspects attacked the man and his friend.
"They attacked them with various objects and one of the mourners at the funeral produced a firearm and shot both of them [the husband and his friend]."
