Man in court for killing 23-year-old woman

A man appeared in the Cullinan Magistrates’ Court on Monday for the murder of a 23-year-old woman.

Police spokesperson Captain Mavela Masondo said the woman’s body had been found in a plot in Kameeldrift last Wednesday, Rekord East reported.

“It is alleged the body of the deceased was dumped by a white Quantum in the plot, and was discovered by the employees who were reporting for duty that day,” said Masondo.

The deceased was identified as a woman from Danville, west of Pretoria.

The alleged killer, 43, was arrested last Thursday after a search by police.

“Police seized a firearm and impounded a Toyota Quantum that is believed to have been used during the commission of crime.”

Masondo said the arrest confirmed the police’s commitment in combating crimes against women.

Gauteng police commissioner Deliwe De Lange thanked residents who worked with the police to arrest the man.
