Stilfontein-A 49 year-old man appeared before Stilfontein Magistrate Court after he allegedly strangled a woman to death.

Letlatsa Tshabalala,49, was subsequently arrested and made his first appearance. He was arrested in connection of Dorah Medupe’s murder.

A 39 year-old woman was found strangled to death by one of her relatives at her house in Stilfontein.

“Police were called after the reports of a woman strangled to death reached us. The atrocity took place on Monday and the suspect was arrested after investigations.” Sergeant Kelebogile Moiloa said.

Moiloa said Tshabalala allegedly strangled Medupe to death with a scarf and the victim was found by a relative.

“She did not go to fetch her child at a nearby creche and the nursery teachers informed the next of kin. They went to check her at her house and allegedly found her lying in the corridors dead” Moiloa said.

The suspect will appear again on Friday for bail application and police investigation continues.-TDN
