The 51-year-old Mokoena was gunned down in his house in July whilst his wife, who has since been arrested, was present in the bedroom where he was killed.


The deceased allegedly found his wife in the main bedroom and went on to the bathroom where he found two armed men. A scuffle ensued and he was dragged back to the bedroom where he was shot in the head in the presence of his wife.


The suspects fled the scene with Mokoena's vehicle, an undisclosed amount of money and cellphones. The vehicle was later found abandoned.


His wife, also 51, was arrested shortly after the murder when police positively linked her to the crime. Kelebogile Mokoena on the 18th of July abandoned her bid for bail.


It is alleged that she poisoned her own dogs to make it easier for three killers to enter their Fichardtpark home in order to kill her husband.


The second suspect, Elvis Sonnyboy Galeboe was arrested on the 2nd of August while on his way from East London to Bloemfontein.


Both suspects will appear in court together on the 8th of August.
