A 28-year-old woman wanted in connection with a murder in Pomona, Kempton Park, last night was arrested earlier today.

Police have thanked local security services for assisting in the arrest of the suspect.

According to Kempton Park SAPS spokesperson Sargent Dipuo Ditshego, police last night responded to the scene of a murder at a property on West Road.

“When police arrived at the property they found the body of a 29-year-old man,” says Ditshego.

It is believed the victim was strangled with a cable.

“Shoe laces were used to tie up the victims’ hands and legs. A witness at the property told police she had seen the victim with his ex-girlfriend during the day and that the woman had left the property alone earlier that evening,” explains Ditshego.

An alert was issued for the woman.

Ditshego confirms that earlier today, Sec Pros security personnel were patrolling around Brentwood Park when they saw a woman matching the description given.

“The suspect was apprehended and detective Captain Richard Moloi who attended the murder scene, drove to Brentwood Park where the 28-year-old female was detained. The woman was taken to the Kempton Park Police Station where she was charged with murder.”

She will appear in the Kempton Park Magistrate’s Court soon to face the charges against her.

The Kempton Park station commander, Brigadier Lindani Ndlovu, commended the quick response of the security personnel.

Various role-players identified in the arrest include Moto-Track, Jungle Boys, Rapid Response, Sector 6 CPF and SHARE-IT Live.
