Woman arrested for alleged murder of husband

Detectives in the Free State have arrested a 37-year-old woman for the alleged murder of her husband after he was shot and killed in the Naledi section of Bohlokong on 1 January 2025.

According to information at police’s disposal, on 1 January 2025 at about 20:20, the Bohlokong police were patrolling the Naledi section for crime prevention purposes when they came across the body of a man lying in the street with bullet wounds to his face. 

“He was identified by family. The motive behind the murder is not known yet, but a case of murder is being investigated. The suspect has been charged and will appear before the Bethlehem Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 6 January 2025, on a charge of conspiracy to murder,” the South African Police Service (SAPS) said in a statement. 

In a separate incident in the same province, Phuthaditjhaba police have arrested a 28-year-old man from Kudumane Village in Qwaqwa for possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition following a tip-off from community members.

It is alleged that on 1 January 2025 at about 19:30, police attended to a complaint at Thaba di Mmele Initiation School based at Kudumane Village of a person who was in possession of an unlicensed firearm.

“The police responded on 2 January 2025 at about 01:00 with a surprise visit to the initiation school. They found a group of men seated on a rock. When approached, one person amongst the group ran away carrying a bag and threw it on the ground. He was pursued by police and later caught by some of the men from the same group. 

“The bag was searched, and a rusty shotgun with no serial number and bullet was found and seized by police as an exhibit. A case of possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition is being investigated,” the SAPS said. 

The 28-year-old suspect is expected to appear before the Phuthaditjhaba Magistrate’s Court on Friday facing charges of possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition. – SAnews.gov.za
