The two people who were arrested, both in their 20s, are expected to appear in the Simon's Town Magistrate's Court on Friday for the possession of suspected stolen property.
"We are yet to charge a suspect for murder and the circumstances surrounding the matter are still under investigation," Traut said.
News24 previously reported that an eyewitness told police that the suspect was riding what looked like a brand new mountain bike and was last seen heading towards Kommetjie.
