Two men are expected to appear in the George Magistrate’s Court today after they were arrested in connection with the brutal murder of Micaylin Whites (22) of Parkdene, two weeks ago.

The first suspect was arrested in Thembalethu on Thursday night and the second early on Friday morning.

Sergeant Chris Spies, the Southern Cape police spokesperson, says the members of Pacaltsdorp and Thembalethu police assigned to the murder worked around the clock on the investigation and followed up several leads.

“The investigation led to the arrest of two suspects, aged 40 and 43, both from Thembalethu.”

Whites’ body was found at 06:50 on July 20, by a traffic officer patrolling the N2, near Pacaltsdorp.

George Herald previously reported that Whites (the mother of a young toddler) went out to a social event in Thembalethu with some friends the night before her body was found.

Unfortunately, she was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

“She wasn’t a troublemaker. She was loved by many and a real people’s person,” her mother, Bonita, previously told the newspaper. Bonita is now left with the giant task of raising her grandson Rouxvé – a little boy who lost his mother in the most unthinkable way possible.

“Everyone knew me, everyone knew her. The person who did this knew me. We used to walk around and play together as children. That person ripped her away from us when she was just about to enter her life as an adult and make a life for herself.”
