Cloete and Thomas Murray (News24/Sharlene Rood)

The police identified a key person of interest but have failed to interview him more than a year after Cloete and Thomas Murray were murdered in broad daylight on the busiest road in the country.

Within hours of the killings on 18 March 2023, the police had visited security staff at the upmarket Melrose Arch in Johannesburg and obtained access to CCTV footage showing the driver of a white Ford Ranger double-cab that followed the Murrays as they made their way back to Pretoria on the N1 North.

Gantry cameras operated by the SA National Roads Agency captured a white Ranger on the scene of the shooting as the Murrays' vehicle swerved on the highway, with the car's GPS tracking data showing it came to a stop shortly thereafter.
