A 41-year-old suspect is expected to appear in the Bellville Magistrate’s court on Monday, after he was charged with the murder of Warren Rhoode whose body was discovered in Delft, in April.
The deceased is the son of Wally Rhoode, President Cyril Ramaphosa’s
head of security.
Police, last Wednesday, offered a R50 000 reward to members
of the public for information leading to a successful conviction in the case.
The police’s Novela Potelwa said the suspect, was arrested
on Sunday.
‘’The suspect, a Mozambican national, was taken in for
questioning by Serious and Violent Crimes detectives on Thursday, 01 June
following an extensive investigation into the disappearance and subsequent
discovery of 30 year old Rhoode’s body in Thubelisha, Delft who was last seen
in the area,’’ said Brigadier Novela Potelwa.
‘’At the time of Rhoode’s disappearance he was driving a
black VW Polo sedan, which is yet to be recovered,’’ she added.
Potelwa said the motive for the murder is believed to be
robbery, adding that investigations are still ongoing.
