Western Cape murder accused Ashwell Claremond Isaac (30) is expected to appear in a Vredenburg court today after he was remanded in custody during an appearance in the White River Magistrate’s Court last Monday.

Isaac was arrested in eMbonisweni in KaBokweni on October 27.

According to a spokesperson of the Mpumalanga Hawks, Captain Dineo Sekgotodi, information was operationalised regarding a suspect in a murder committed in Cape Town in August, who fled to Mpumalanga after a warrant for his arrest was issued.

“The accused is in transit and is expected to appear before the Vredenburg Magistrate’s Court on November 5,” Sekgotodi adds.

The head of the Mpumalanga Hawks, Major General Nico Gerber, commended the efforts of the Hawks in apprehending the accused.

“The Hawks in Mpumalanga will trace, arrest and bring to book all perpetrators who think they can hide without fear or favour. We serve the citizens of this beautiful country irrespective of which province needs our assistance,” he adds.
