The fourth suspect in the former boxing champion Corrie Sanders’ murder case has been located in Zimbabwe.  The state announced it in the Brits Magistrate’s court, where the other three are appearing today. State advocate Matric Lephondo says they also believe the man will be able to tell them where the gun, which Sanders was shot with, is.

He says they have contacted relevant authorities to start negotiations to get the man and the firearm to South Africa. The case has been postponed until August. The other three suspects remain in custody.

Sanders was killed in a robbery at a restaurant in Brits. Saunders and his family were at the restaurant to celebrate his nephew’s 21st birthday. He died after surgery at Kalafong hospital in Atteridgeville.

The trial of three men implicated in the murder resumes in the Brits Regional Court today. The three allegedly shot and wounded Sanders during a robbery at the Thatch Haven Country Lodge outside Brits last year.

Paida Fish, Samuel Mabena, and Chris Moyo each face a count of murder and three charges of robbery with aggravating circumstances. They were arrested in the Oukasie informal settlement, near Brits, in September after police received a tip off.
