A suspect, linked to the murder of a woman whose body was dumped under a tree in an open veld in Dobsonville Extension 3, Gauteng, was arrested on Friday evening.
Police spokesperson Captain Kay Makhubele confirmed to News24 that an investigation had led to an arrest, but police could not confirm whether the suspect was in a relationship with, or had any relation to the victim.
The victim's body was dumped under a tree at about 07:00 on Friday morning, which was later found by residents who were on their way home after taking part in a protest.
