Police say that a 25-year-old man has been arrested for a murder that occurred on Saturday at an apartment in Green Point.

The suspect, who is from Harare, is accused of killing 60-year-old Neil Gibbon, whose sister found his body on his bed with an open wound to the neck.

"No sign of forced entry was found and the deceased’s vehicle, a white Mercedes Benz was missing. The vehicle was later found parked at a hardware store in Mitchell's Plain, and when the suspect returned to the parked car he was arrested," says Inspector Bernadine Steyn.

The suspect is appearing in the Cape Town Magistrate’s court on Monday.
