Two men were charged on Saturday morning with the murder of gay club owner Bruno Bronn, Western Cape police said.

Warrant Officer November Filander said a 36-year-old man was arrested around 10am in Bo-Kaap, Cape Town.

A second man, 29, from Salt River was questioned for his role and also arrested, he said.

Bronn, 50, who owned the Bronx nightclub, was found dead by his domestic worker shortly before 9am on Tuesday.

He was found on his back on the floor with his hands tied with tape in front of him. He had marks around his neck. It was not known whether anything was taken from the house on Ocean View drive.

The Bronx made news in 2006 when a security guard at the club was wounded after five shots were fired in a drive-by shooting. At the time Bronn denied the shooting had anything to do with the club.

Both men were expected to appear in Cape Town Magistrate's Court on Monday.

Investigations were continuing. -Sapa

Thank God the monster Coetzee has been found, along with his accomplice. It won't bring Bruno back, but hopefully the aggressive pursuit of justice will help bring closure for all of us whom mourn his death.
