An Irish woman suspected of murdering her two best friends for eight years has been arrested in South Africa, according to the British newspaper The Sun. The woman, identified as Ruth Lawrence, 42, was found in the early hours of Wednesday (5).
The woman was accused of killing 32-year-old Eoin O’Connor and 33-year-old Anthony Keegan in 2014. Ruth lived in Dublin, Ireland before the crime. She’s been running from justice ever since, she.
The motive for Ruth’s double murder has yet to be discovered. The bodies were found in a shallow grave wrapped in plastic.
According to the Daily Mail, the elite South African police unit known as the Hawks said they had issued an international arrest warrant while raiding a Bloemfontein home after receiving an anonymous tip.
Yesterday, Ruth went to the hearing, which was ordered to be detained until October 10.
According to investigations, she fled to South Africa in 2014 with her 39-year-old boyfriend, Neville Van Westhuizen. He was arrested for murdering a teenager in 2017 and is serving a life sentence in Durban.
