A FRESH suspect is being investigated in the murder of Fred Picton-Turbervill in South Africa.
Mozambican Christovao Fresco Ndima, 19, who is accused of murdering nursery school teacher, Rinda Abraham, by shooting her in the heart on Saturday, is believed to be involved in the murder of the Burnley businessman.
Rinda Abraham, 55, the principal of the Kleutermaatjies Crèche in Centurion, South Africa, was shot dead on Saturday after three armed robbers overpowered her and her family in their home in Waterkloof Ridge near the home of Mr Picton-Turbervill.
Her death resembled that of Mr Picton-Turbervill, who was shot in the head in front of his wife and children earlier this month.
He died a few hours after the attack.
Ndima along with Dinis Gentil Nhone, 36, and a third suspect, who claimed he was aged 15, appeared at Pretoria District Court on Wednesday.
They are charged with murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances and the illegal possession of firearms and ammunition.
