Three men were arrested in Cullinan on a murder charge following the death of a 20-year-old man after a fight in Bronkhorstspruit on Saturday.
Cullinan police spokesperson constable Connie Moganedi said the three had fought with the deceased before they killed him.
“They were taken in for questioning and confessed that they fought with the deceased,” Moganedi said.
She said the deceased was found dead on Saturday morning. Witnesses at the scene refused to revealed their identities for fear of victimisation by the three.
“While we were busy with the investigation, a man approached us. He said three men came to his house and confessed they had killed a man but feared coming out because they might be victimised by the community,” she said.
The three were arrested at the man’s house between 21:00 and 22:00 on Saturday.
They will appear in the Bronkhorstspruit Magistrate’s Court soon.
