A woman who was on the run after her husband was murdered in Botshabelo, Free State, in September was arrested in Sandton on Monday.
On September 15, Fezile Mnyobisi, 35, a teacher, was taken to hospital by his wife Hallimah Thamando Mnyobisi, 38, in a private vehicle and pronounced dead on arrival. He had been stabbed more than thirty times.
“After intensive investigations by Botshabelo detectives working with the provincial investigative psychology department, three suspects were arrested after arrest warrants were issued,” police spokesperson Sergeant Mahlomola Kareli said.
Vusumuzi Daniel Nqele, 43, and Moeketsi Innocent Manko, 35, were arrested on November 8 for murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Further investigations led to the arrest of the deceased’s brother-in-law, Abdool Thamando, 35, in Johannesburg.
It was initially indicated that the wanted suspect was fleeing in a black Mazda CX-5 with an unknown license plate. Investigators later discovered she was traveling in a white BMW.
“At around 4pm on November 26, the team followed up information which led them to an accommodation complex in Sandton. While there, they found the 38-year-old hiding in one of the luxury units. She was staying with her alleged boyfriend,” Kareli said.
