The 16-year-old minor was arrested at his guardian house and has made a brief appearance at the Mossel Bay Magistrate Court. His case has been transferred to Mokopane Magistrate Court where he will face two charges of murder on 7 April 2014.
The couple’s bodies were found in the decomposing state and a post-mortem will be conducted this week to determine the cause of death.
