Gauteng police arrested four people, including a gardener and domestic worker, for the murder of a 78-year-old man.
Police said his body was found in a shallow grave in the yard of his home in Cresta in Randburg, after he was reported missing on 16 April by a tenant who had not seen him for several days.
Spokesperson, Lieutenant-Colonel Mavela Masondo, said the victim’s VW Polo was also missing.
“Investigations revealed that the car was moving around Johannesburg and that the victim's bank cards were being used,” she said.
Masondo said further investigation led to the arrest of a male gardener and female domestic worker, who were employed by the victim, and two other male suspects.
He said following the arrests, the body of the deceased was pointed out to the police.
The suspects face a charge of murder.
