Earlier this week, Netwerk24 reported that one of the 40 men arrested for the murders of Tjixa and Jubeba said the attack on Van der Westhuizen never happened.
Three men are expected to appear in the Parys Magistrate's Court on Thursday in connection with the alleged vigilante killing of two men suspected of involvement in a farm attack.
One of them is an 18-year-old matric pupil, Netwerk24 reported on Thursday.
Loedie van der Westhuizen, 73, alleged that while he was feeding his dogs on his farm near Parys on January 6, two armed men confronted him and demanded R20 000.
He claimed he was pistol-whipped, but managed to run into his house and press a panic button. His attackers ran away.
A group of local farmers tracked and confronted the two suspected attackers, Samuel Tjixa and Simon Jubeba, about 8km from the farm. The farmers allegedly assaulted them before handing them to police.
Tjixa was admitted to Parys Provincial Hospital and Jubeba to Pelonomi Hospital. Jubeba was declared dead on arrival. Tjixa died later.
