One suspect was arrested on Friday in Schoemansdal near Mbombela, with two more arrests on Saturday night and early Sunday morning, Mpumalanga police confirmed.
“We hope this matter will be resolved speedily, without unnecessary postponements and prolonged deliberations to show perpetrators of gender-based violence that our judicial system is harsh and firm on this type of crime,” the family said in a statement.“Both prominent and ordinary and the amount of comfort we have received from the care and compassion is immeasurable.
Their speedy response to resolving this matter and finding the perpetrators is one which we wish they will emulate in all other criminal matters.“We extend our gratitude to the SA Police services and the entire investigative team for their patience, commitment and diligence, even when confronted by our grief, anger and frustration. Their speedy response to resolving this matter and finding the perpetrators is one which we wish they will emulate in all other criminal matters.
There are other women also murdered in Shithole SA but your biased news paper will not give it any publicity.
