A five-year-old boy was found sleeping next to the body of his 41-year-old mother at the weekend in Mossel Bay.
Josenia du Preez's body was found with multiple stab wounds to her head, neck and body by a friend on Saturday morning.
Du Preez husband, Willem Langerveld (51) was later arrested at a relative’s house, in connection with the murder of his visually impaired wife on Friday afternoon.
Police spokesperson Ntobeko Manqwenqwe says that the boy is the police’s key witness in solving the investigation. He says that at the moment there are no other witnesses to the murder, except the boy.
The motive for the killing is unknown and police are investigating. Langerveld is expected to appear in court on Thursday.
