THE bodies of a Chinese businessman and his wife were pulled from an abandoned Northern Province mine on Tuesday afternoon. The couple are thought to have been hijacked and murdered last week before being dumped in the 30-metre-deep mine at Burgersdorp near Tzaneen. The couple may have been hijacked on the road between Hoedspruit and Bushbuckridge while hawking goods, said a policeman. Police were led to the bodies after arresting three men who were caught driving the couple’s car on Monday afternoon. The men, aged between 22 and 32, apparently confessed to the murders while being interrogated about the vehicle. – African Eye News Service
