GAUTENG – Police arrested a mother, son and friend following the murder of an 84-year-old woman in Elandsfontein farm, Fochville, yesterday.
The suspects were traced to Klerksdorp in the North West province where they were arrested.
Gauteng Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant General Elias Mawela commended the farmworker, neighbours, family members and police officers who acted swiftly to ensure that the suspects are behind bars. “Crime against elderly people remain one of our priorities and police will ensure that those who take advantage of defenceless senior citizens are hunted down and brought to justice,” said the Provincial Commissioner.
The suspects are expected to appear at Fochville Magistrate court soon, facing charges of murder and house robbery.
