Nephew nabbed for murder

It is alleged that the two men were arguing over cattle

Bhekinkosi Hadebe (59) was assaulted with a stone on his head during a heated argument with his nephew in May 2014.

The 59-year-old from Loskop sustained an open wound and was admitted to hospital where he later died of his injury.

It is alleged that the two men were arguing over cattle. The 30-year-old suspect fled from the Loskop area but police traced his whereabouts and he was arrested on January 25.

“Police made a breakthrough when it was established that he had been admitted to a local hospital and he was placed under arrest as soon as he was discharged from the hospital,” commented police spokesperson Captain Charmaine Struwig.
