A man was arrested after a woman was raped, killed and her body dumped next to the corner of Doran Darling Street in Jeppestown on August 30, 2014.
The Cleveland SAPS communications officer, Constable Mpho Mashakane, said police officers received a call about a woman’s body next to the pavement.
“On arrival, police officers called an ambulance. Paramedics certified the woman dead at the scene,” said Const Mashakane.
According to Const Mashakane, information from residents helped led police officers to the suspect, who was subsequently arrested.
“Residents claimed to hear noises at around 2am on the day. They said they saw a vehicle with two people in it stopping next to the intersection. The occupants were seen pushing what looked like a lifeless body out the car. On Friday, March 13 this year, investigations led police officers to a possible suspect. The suspect was positively linked to the incident and arrested,” she said.
The suspect is expected to appear in court soon.
