The South African Police Services has confirmed that the man accused of murdering Teasers Club owner Lolly Jackson is back in the country and is in custody.

The National Police Spokesperson Lieutenant General Solomon Makgale said a team comprising of SAPS Crime Intelligence, the Interpol Extradition Team and the Department of Justice has successfully repatriated George Louca from Cyprus.

Makgale said George Louca fled South Africa after the murder of strip club boss Lolly Jackson at a house in Edenglen in 2010. He was wanted by the Hawks in connection with the murder since then. Louca made several attempts to evade extradition but he failed when he lost his final appeal in the Cypriot Supreme Court.

He added that the accused was brought into the country this morning by Interpol and he has since been handed over to the Hawks.  The Hawks are also investigating other cases to which he could possibly be linked.
