Eddie’s 56-year-old father Pieter was shot dead in the attack on their farm in Henneman in the Free State last week.
Three suspects - who are all in their thirties - are expected to appear before the Hennenman Magistrate's Court on Monday.
A fourth suspect committed suicide in the cells shortly after he was nabbed.
Free State police spokesperson Motantsi Makhele says the 47-year-old suspect was found dead in a police holding cell on Saturday.
Makhele adds the trio is facing charges of murder and house robbery.
