Thabo Mabilane Dibakoane (45) appeared in the Bushbuckridge Magistrate’s Court yesterday, after evading arrest for more than three months.

Mpumalanga News reports that he is accused of fatally stabbing a woman in Shatale.

The murder case was registered in September and the suspect was arrested on Tuesday in Alverton Village.

The arrest followed a tip-off from residents and was made possible through a collaborative effort between the Tubatse SAPS Detective Services and the Bushbuckridge SAPS.

He was remanded in custody and will reappear in court on December 23 for further proceedings.
