|||A man who skipped bail while on trial for two rapes in 2010 was rearrested in Mankweng on Tuesday, Limpopo police said.
The man allegedly raped two University of Limpopo students in their off-campus accommodation, Constable Moses Molepo said in a statement.
The women had picked him out in an identity parade and he was positively linked to the rapes through DNA evidence. When he failed to return to court a manhunt was launched to bring him back to face trial.
On Tuesday, police caught him after following up on a tip-off. He was found in possession of an unlicensed firearm which had its serial number filed off.
The man would appear in the Mankweng Magistrate's Court soon. - Sapa
