Potchefstroom – A 23-year-old man has been arrested after the murder of an Ikageng, Potchefstroom, man in his home while he was doing laundry, North West police said on Thursday.

“The deceased was found lying in a pool of blood by neighbours, who alerted paramedics. He was declared dead on the scene.”

The arrested man would appear in the Potchefstroom Magistrate’s Court on Friday on murder charges.
