Sanders murder accused appear─── 05:49 Mon, 01 Oct 2012
Brits - Three men accused of murdering former world heavyweight boxing champion Corrie Sanders are expected to appear in the Brits Magistrate's Court Monday.
North West police spokesperson, Thulani Ngubane said the men were arrested in Oukasie informal settlement, near Brits, on Thursday after police received a tipoff.
Police recovered a cellular phone, vehicle key, handbag, purse and cash believed to have been stolen during the robbery in which Sanders was shot on September 22.
The three arrested men, two aged 20 and one 19, are Zimbabwean nationals.
Sanders was at the Thatch Haven Country Lodge, in Brits, when armed robbers entered and began firing shots at random. He was hit in the hand and stomach and died in the Kalafong hospital the next day.
Sanders won the World Boxing Organisation's heavyweight title in March 2003 by beating Ukrainian Vladimir Klitsckho in the second round in Germany. He retired five years later.
