South African police allege that the suspects brutally assaulted the tourist before killing him and dumping his body in the town of Northam in the province of Limpopo. BBC News
The tourist had been driving from Botswana when he offered a lift to a hitchhiker. Some passengers are believed to have developed mild symptoms of stomach illness during a trip to South Africa.
The hitchhiker then called two other people, who drove with the tourist to his accommodation, tied him up, assaulted him and robbed him of money and other valuables, police say.
They then dumped his
body in a bush near a farm, the
South African Police Service (Saps) added in a statement.
"We will work hard to secure a water tight case that will result in a lengthy conviction for these perpetrators”, the police commissioner of Limpopo province, Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe, said in the statement.
The nationalities of the foreigners are yet to be disclosed.
