JOHANNESBURG - A couple has been arrested in connection with the kidnapping and murder of a 72-year-old man in Limpopo.

Police said one of the suspects was the victim's daughter, who has been on the run since the murder in March.

According to preliminary investigations, the couple hijacked the victim’s vehicle before kidnapping him in Makubung.

Provincial South African Police Service (SAPS) spokesperson Malesele Ledwaba said they were able to track down the man’s daughter after the arrest of Molatudi Marwale, her boyfriend, who has since appeared in court.

"The investigation led to the arrest of the deceased's daughter, aged 36. The two will appear before Sekhukhune Magistrates Court on Tuesday, 22 April 2025, facing charges of car hijacking, kidnapping, murder and robbery." By Ntokozo Khumalo, EWN
