Johannesburg – Two women and a man have been arrested for allegedly murdering a woman in Kagiso, on the West Rand, police said on Tuesday.

The woman was found with open wounds on her face and head on Sunday, said Warrant Officer Solomon Sibiya.

“The victim was rushed to Leratong hospital, by an ambulance, in a serious but stable condition. She later died in hospital,” he said.

People at the scene told the police the woman was assaulted by someone who lived with her, said Sibiya.

Police arrested the three on Monday, on charges of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and murder.

They would appear in the Kagiso Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.
