The South African Police Service (SAPS) has confirmed the arrest of a fourth suspect in connection with the high-profile R10 million insurance murder, fraud, and money laundering case involving former police officer Rachel Kutumela and her family.
The 54-year-old suspect, identified as the brother of the accused former Police Sergeant, was apprehended on Tuesday, 4 November 2025, at approximately 11:00 in Molejie, near Seshego. According to SAPS Polokwane spokesperson Brigadier Hlulani Mashaba, the suspect is scheduled to appear before the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, 5 November 2025, facing charges of murder, fraud, and money laundering.
Brigadier Mashaba further confirmed that the other three accused—Rachel Kutumela (43), her sister Anna Shokane (47), and daughter Florah Shokane (23)—remain in custody following the denial of their bail applications. The matter has since been escalated to the Polokwane High Court for further proceedings.
The investigation into the case is ongoing.
