Man arrested for couple’s stabbing
A man has been arrested in connection with the stabbing of a couple in front of a six-year-old child.
The Benoni cluster priority task team enforced the arrest in Lindelani this morning.
A woman (40) and her 37-year-old partner were in their Kingsway shack when four men entered the dwelling, on Wednesday evening, October 28.
The man died in the Far East Rand Hospital on October 29, while the female victim was discharged from the same hospital on the same day.
The child was not harmed in the ordeal.
Benoni SAPS acting station commander Col Martin van Nieuwenhuizen said they arrested a 35-year-old male in connection with the crime.
Van Nieuwenhuizen is adamant police will apprehend the three remaining suspects shortly.
“I am positive we’ll have the three remaining suspects before the end of the weekend,” he said.
The suspect is currently being detained at the Benoni Police Station under a charge of murder and assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
