A suspect linked to the double murder caught on a bread delivery truck’s dashcam has been arrested.
Two staff members were killed when their bread truck was robbed on Symphony Way in Delft on 16 May.
At the time, the white Isuzu truck with Sasko branding was making deliveries.

The dashboard camera footage was shared widely on social media.
Police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Malcolm Pojie told TimesLive that a 38-year-old man was traced by the investigating team on Sunday to the Delft Day Hospital.
He was being treated for injuries sustained during a scuffle with community members who accused him of robbery.
Pojie adds that the man was identified during the initial stages of the investigation. However, he managed to evade arrest until the weekend.
‘The investigating team visited the hospital, recognised the suspect and placed him under arrest. He provided a false name and details to the hospital administrators.’
He will appear in court on Wednesday on charges of murder, attempted murder and aggravated robbery.
His accomplices are still at large.
