On 30 May, officers from the Diepsloot Police Station arrested a 24-year-old male suspect when he turned himself in after allegedly confessing to a murder.
The suspect allegedly confessed that the murder took place on 29 May in Ext 13.
Spokesperson for the Diepsloot Police Station, Captain Tinyiko Mathebula said they received a report of murder from a local clinic. “On arrival [at the clinic] they found the lifeless body of a male victim with a slit throat. Community members who brought the deceased to the clinic alleged that they had found him lying in a pool of blood, still breathing.
“They rushed him to the clinic and he was sadly certified dead on arrival by emergency personnel.”
Police then opened an inquest docket. Mathebula said while the investigation took place, the suspect came to the station and allegedly confessed to the murder of the deceased.
“He was subsequently arrested and charged with murder and he is due to appear in the Randburg Magistrates’ Court.”
