Police are looking for information after three women were found murdered in Caleb Motshabi, Bloemfontein and one suspect is to appear in court for murder.
On Sunday 24 December 2024. Kopanong Police received information about an alleged body wrapped in cellotape inside a shack in Caled Motshabi.
Members rushed to the address and on arrival they found the shack locked but drag marks were spotted leading to the pit toilet. Upon inspecting the pit toilet, they made discovery of the body of a 34-year-old female who was identified as Sinah Bantjies, wrapped in cellotape and covered in mud.
Within no time a 43-years old suspect, who had fled the scene, was traced and arrested in Botshabelo by Kopanong Detectives. He will appear in the Bloemfontein magistrate court soon for murder.
In another incident on Wednesday, 20 December 2023 at about 16:00, Kopanong police received a call about two bodies in a shack at T13 in Caleb Motshabi.
Members rushed to the scene and discovered the bodies of two females aged 91 and 66-year-old on the bed. Their neighbour made the discovery after she since saw the 66-year-old while in their yard earlier that day.
Kopanong Police initially opened two cases of inquest for further investigation. Preliminary postmortem results revealed that the two were murdered as the 91-year-old Sarah Sentlholo died of poisoning and her 66-year-old daughter, Rebecca Moyetsane, was strangled to death.
Police have launched a manhunt for the ruthless killers and are appealing to anyone who might have information that may assist in the investigation of these two counts of murder to contact D/Sgt Matli of Kopanong Detectives on 073 194 8801 or contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or send an anonymous tip off on MySapsApp.
