A man suspected to be responsible for the murder and rape of a 21-year-old woman in Protea Glen, Soweto earlier in December, is expected to make a court appearance on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old suspect was arrested on Monday,
while on his way to Johannesburg from Tembisa, with an intent of crossing to
Lesotho.
‘’After receiving a tip-off about the possible
whereabouts of the suspect, police's task team followed him to Ivory Park taxi
rank where the arrest was effected,’’ said Captain Mavela Masondo.
‘’The suspect has been on the run since the
discovery of the naked body of a woman in an open field in Protea Glen
Extension 31 in the early hours of 7 December 2020. He was the last person to
be seen with the deceased.’’ added Masondo.
The suspect is expected to appear at Protea Magistrates
Court on murder and rape charges.
