Follow-up investigations throughout the day led to the recovery of the vehicle used in the commission of the crime, as well as personal items belonging to the victim, including his driver’s licence.
The vehicle was stolen in Gauteng in 2016 and had false plates on.
PLEASE NOTE:
Why suspects’ faces are “blacked out” on Social media:-
“When suspects are arrested, it is important to remember that identity parades will form part of the investigation process. Therefore, photographs depicting the faces of suspects should not be distributed at all, since it can have a negative impact on the investigation and any identity parades to be held in connection with the case.”
