According to reports, the case against Kotze, 50, and his 42-year-old co-accused was postponed. The two will remain in custody until their next court appearance in February.

They are apparently facing a number of charges including murder, conspiracy to rape, rape, sexual assault, kidnapping and common assault.

Kotze allegedly forced three workers to gang-rape his estranged wife. He also allegedly shot and killed the woman's son.

After being on the run for a week, he was arrested on Wednesday in Modimolle, Limpopo where the incident occurred.

The 42-year-old man, who was allegedly forced to take part in the attack on the woman, was also arrested on Wednesday.

Police are still searching for the other two men.
