9 January 2015 -- Mr Frans R. Lotz 60, was reported missing on new year's eve 31 December 2014 after he had visited a friend at the sonamed "Kgosi Mampara' prison in Pretoria.
His body was retrieved on 6 January 2015 in a hallow grave in Bosbokrand, Mpumalanga.
SA Police colonel Noxolo Kweza said one of four men who had kidnapped Mr Lotz in his bakkie had handed himself in to the police and pointed out the grave.
"The suspect confessed to kidnapping and killing Mr Lotz, said Kweza.
Mr Lotz' body was retrieved from the shallow grave on Tuesday at Bosbokrand in the Lowveld region.
Marks on his neck indicated that he was very likely strangled to death. The police have confiscated the murder-victim's bakkie to investigate it as part of their crime-scene investigation.
The are also examining the tools used to bury the murdered Afrikaner. It's not clear what kind of financial gain the suspects obtained from the murder. The bakkie was old and Mr Lotz was not a rich man.
Two suspects have been arrested and one, Ben Leola 26 has already appeared and obtained a remand date from the Pretoria magistrate, who postponed the case to 15 January 2015.
The police are still hunting down two other suspects.
