This is not the first time that a murder case has been reported in Wolseley. Last year in October, a 33-year-old suspect was arrested in Wolseley after he was seen dragging the body of a local 20-year-old woman.
Sowetan Live reported at the time that the man’s arrest came after community members alerted the police to the suspicious activity in the Pine Valley informal settlement.
During the same month, the report said, another woman’s body was dug up from a shallow grave.
