NELSPRUIT – The Acting Provincial Commissioner of the SAPS in Mpumalanga Major General (Dr) Zeph Mkhwanazi has commended members of Kwamhlanga detectives for working tirelessly this week when they followed up on the murder of a 31-year-old victim at Vezubuhle, Kwamhlanga.
Police were summoned to the house on Sunday morning, 13 October 2024, at about 10:00, after family members of the deceased suspected that their loved one might have been kept captive or murdered.
According to information, the deceased went missing a week earlier, but the family members conducted their own investigation with no luck, and they decided to report the matter to the police.
Police managed to open the deceased’s partner’s room. It was realised that the floor has been recently refurbished and that rose suspicions.
Investigation was conducted as a result it was discovered that the missing person was buried in the shallow grave and covered with cement.
The deceased’s partner was nowhere to be found, and police immediately launched an investigation which led to the arrest of a 40-year-old suspect from his hiding place in Mamelodi outside Pretoria yesterday, 17 October 2024.
The suspect is expected to appear before Kwamhlanga Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 21 October 2024.
The Acting Provincial Commissioner of SAPS in Mpumalanga Major General (Dr) Zeph Mkhwanazi has called on community members to take Gender Based-Violence seriously and report any related incidents to the authorities before lives are lost. “We welcome the arrest, and the members’ efforts did not go unnoticed,” said the General.
