Gauteng police have arrested a sixth suspect sought for the murder of Rhythm City actor Dumisani Masilela (29) of Van Riebeeck Park.
Police spokesperson Brig Mathapelo Peters said the 34-year-old man, was nabbed on Sunday.
Masilela died in August last year after he was shot in Tembisa by occupants of a black Jeep. At the time of the shooting, police established that six people had committed the murder.
“The initial four were arrested last year, while the fifth suspect died in a robbery,” Peters said.
After being shot once, Masilela managed to drive himself to hospital where he underwent surgery. He died later that day as a result of his injuries.
The accused will appear in Benoni Magistrate’s Court today (Monday). He will then join his alleged accomplices set for trial in the Pretoria High Court from October 8-19.
