Cape Town police have arrested four suspects in connection with the murder of Bruno Bronn, owner of the famous gay nightclub Bronx Action Bar.

Bronn's body was found in his home by his domestic worker on Tuesday. His hands had been tied and there were marks around his neck.

Police spokesman Warrant Officer November Filander said police had arrested a 36-year-old in Bo-Kaap following a tip-off, and another suspect was arrested in Salt River on Saturday.

Filander said a third suspect was arrested in Brooklyn and that Bronn's BMW had been recovered at a complex in Milnerton.

A fourth suspect was arrested in Goodwood.

He said police had seized a vehicle thought to have been used in the crime.

All four suspects had been charged with murder and might face more charges as the investigation continued.

"The investigation into this case is at a sensitive stage so this office cannot answer further questions until the investigation has been finalised," said Filander.

The suspects will appear in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court today.
