Dobsonville police officials discovered a body of an elderly male who was buried in a shallow grave in an open veld in Dobsonville Extension 2 on Monday.
The 72-year victim had been reported missing by his family last week on Friday.
A family feud is believed to be a motive behind the killing.
Police have arrested the deceased’s 27- year old nephew on a charge of murder following intensive investigations.
Forensics were called to the scene to exhume the body. Paramedics were notified and they declared the body dead.
“The suspect appeared in the Roodepoort Magistrate’s Court yesterday, February 23,” said Constable Vusi Thokwana, Spokesperson for Dobsonville SAPS.
