Kookrus man arrested for murder following altercation

An altercation between two men is said to have led to the murder.

MEYERTON. – The Beast Security together with Kookrus Neighbourhood-watch and The Midvaal Intervention Team responded to a call where a murder had taken place due to an altercation between two males in Kookrus.

Upon arrival an eye witness alerted the teams that the alleged suspect hid himself in a locked room a short distance from where the alleged murder had taken place. A team was assembled to secure the suspect while the other team went to look for the body that was presumably deceased.

The alleged suspect was apprehended and shortly thereafter Meyerton SAPS arrived and the suspect was handed over to them.

The body of a male was located and CERT was contacted to confirm if the person was deceased.

The person was confirmed deceased and CERT proceeded to complete the necessary paperwork for the police.

“We want to thank everyone that played a crucial part in this success, including the Kookrus Neighbourhood Watch, Midvaal Intervention Team, CERT and Meyerton SAPS. This shows that team work delivers results,” The Beast Security said in a statement.
