POLOKWANE – Police discovered her charred remains in a shallow grave in Lyndhurst, east of the city and on Thursday, 10 May, a 27 year-old man was arrested in connection with her murder.

Gauteng police spokesperson, Captain Mavela Masondo confirmed that the man will appear in the Johannesburg Magistrates’ Court today (12 May) on a charge of murder.
