Pretoria - Two Mpumalanga men aged 21 and 34 have been remanded in custody by the Kriel Magistrate s Court after being arrested for killing a 35-year-old man in a row over a girlfriend.
Mpumalanga police spokesperson Brigadier Leonard Hlathi said the two were arrested after one of them approached the South African Police Service on Sunday, confessed to the murder and led officers to the charred remains of the body.
“Their court appearance stems from an incident in which a man was reported missing by his family at Kriel police station on 30 April 2021. Whilst the police were probing his disappearance, a man suddenly approached them on Sunday where he reportedly confided in them that he had kidnapped the missing man, with the assistance of another man,” said Hlathi.
