Kimberley-The Kagisho Police are investigating a murder case, after the arrest of a 34 year-old suspect, commonly known as “Spaghetti”. 

The suspect is alleged to have been wanted in connection with a murder case of a 30- year-old woman Kganyego Tlamelo. 

“Tlamelo was alleged been stabbed to death on Sunday in the early hours of the morning at about 03:00 in Ivan Babuseng Street, Club 2000 in Kagisho” Police said.

“The suspect who is believed to be the deceased’s ex-boyfriend found the deceased sleeping and allegedly tried to gain entry through the window of the shanty in which the deceased was living in” Lieutenant Mdhuli said. 

“Failing to gain entrance through the window, it is alleged that he kicked down the door of the shanty” He said. 

The suspect found the deceased with her current boyfriend. 

An argument broke-out and it is believed that the suspect, by the name of “Spaghetti” immediately drew out a knife and stabbed the deceased. 

It is alleged that the deceased was stabbed several times, in the face, neck, arm, back and in the chest and left lying in the pool of blood. 

“Kganyego died as a result whilst the suspect fled the scene. The Police worked around the clock and even used the media to ask members of the community to assist in this regard” Police said.

Community members responded to the call and Detective Warrant Officer Essie Esterhuysen got information that the suspect has been seen yester-night around 21:00 at Choppa’s tavern in John Daka Street, Freedom Road.

The suspect was found whilst enjoying himself and was arrested. A DNA will be conducted as it is believed that he was still wearing the clothes that he was seen wearing during the time of the murder incident. 

The suspect has been charged and will appear before the Galeshewe Magistrate Court tomorrow.

 The SAPS would like to thank the community for their help with information that has led to a quick arrest of this suspect.
