Police seized items belonging to the victim and arrested a suspect in connection with the stolen property.
The South African Police Service (Saps) apprehended an individual in connection to the murder of 38-year-old runner Elizabeth “Tsontso” Moselakgomo, after discovering the suspect allegedly holding an item belonging to her. The suspect is set to make an appearance in Kempton Park Magistrate's Court today. Authorities anticipate charging the person with possession of stolen property, while police continue probing the broader circumstances of Moselakgomo's untimely demise.
Moselakgomo vanished on September 12th after leaving her home in Rhodesfield, Kempton Park, for an afternoon run. Her body was later found, a horrific event that triggered nationwide outrage and intensified demands for enhanced protection for women in South Africa. "The suspect will most likely face a charge of possessing stolen goods.
For now, no murder charge has been filed against the suspect. The investigation remains ongoing," stated Brigadier Athlenda Mathe. This is an ongoing case.
