Three more arrests in Thabo Bester saga
Police have arrested three more suspects in connection with the daring prison escape by convicted rapist and murderer Thabo Bester.
The suspects, who are aged between 37 and 47, are all G4S employees.
One suspect was arrested at his home in Botshabelo while the other two were arrested at their place of residence in Bloemfontein on Monday.
Police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe says they all face a charge of assisting an inmate to escape from lawful custody, violation of a corpse and corruption.
"The investigating team assigned to the Thabo Bester case have arrested three more suspects in the matter. Twelve suspects have been arrested in this case. The possibility of effecting more arrests cannot be ruled out."
They are expected to appear in the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.
