Lubbe has been on the run from the law with his long-time lover, Shantellè Oosthuizen, after the police in Hercules, Pretoria, obtained warrants of arrest for the couple on charges of murder, attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
Oosthuizen and Lubbe, who are both from Pretoria, dropped off the radar after they were questioned in connection with the brutal murder of Freitag.
Specialist private investigator Mike Bolhuis, whose Specialised Security Services task team have been working closely with the police to track down the fugitive couple, confirmed Lubbe's arrest.
"He did not hand himself over to the police, but was arrested at about 10am. Oosthuizen is still at large," Bolhuis revealed.
