A 55 year old woman is behind bars for the murder of Acting Judge Patrick Maqubela.

The suspect was arrested early this morning at her Sandton residence.

Maqubela was found dead in his Sea Point residence last year.

Initial diagnoses by a State pathologist suggested that the victim died as a result of a severe heart attack.

But further investigations later led police to change the case to a murder investigation.

Police’s Andre Traut says the circumstance which led to the arrest of the suspect, is part of a lengthy police investigation, and can not be released at this stage.

The suspect is due to appear in the Cape Town Magistrates court on Monday.
