Four suspects , including the wife of the deceased victim, are expected to appear in court in the Free State on Monday on charges of murder.
The group was arrested shortly after the crime was perpetrated in Viljoenskroon.
The provincial police spokesperson, Captain Loraine Earle said on Wednesday, July 3, just before midnight, police were called to a scene of a crime where a man was shot and killed in Engelbrecht Street.
They found the body of the homeowner, Isaak Tladi, 51, in a pool of blood and he was declared dead at the scene.
It is alleged that three armed men came into the house looking for the husband, who is a business owner. A fight ensued and shots were fired. The two sons, aged 17 and 20, managed to flee the scene and look for help. The suspects also fled, Earle said.
