A man has been arrested in connection with a murder in Skierlek informal settlement, east of Pretoria.
Boschkop police spokesperson Constable Yeroboam Mbatsane said the suspect was charged with intimidation and murder this week.
“The arrest comes after human parts were discovered in Skierlek earlier this month. The rest of the body was later found in Eersterust,” he said.
The suspect appeared in court on Tuesday, for a bail application which was denied. He will appear again on 20 February 2020, Mbatsane said.

In a separate incident last week, a drug dealer was arrested at Skierlek informal settlement.
“The officers on patrol received information from a member of the community about a man who was selling nyaope and dagga. Upon investigation, the officers spotted the suspect.”
Mbatsane said the suspect ran but was apprehended.
“The police found drugs and dagga in his possession. A search of his shack yielded more dagga and drugs. The suspect remained behind bars,” he said.
