Three suspects arrested for murder of Free State woman

File


Free State police have arrested three suspects after the body of 66-year-old Iris Potgieter was found in an open veld in Dewetsdorp on Wednesday.

Spokesperson, Brigadier Motantsi Makhele, says witnesses saw a Red VW Golf driving towards the veld and the occupants off-loaded something before speeding off.

He says two suspects in the Golf Chicco with registration number CNF 842 MP were spotted on CCTV camera at a filling station getting petrol.

Brigadier Makhele says according to the deceased's neighbours she left home to help someone transport a television set.

He says the deceased's car was spotted in Chris Hani in Mangaung on Friday afternoon.

Makhele says two men and a woman, aged between 19 and 26, were arrested and the vehicle was recovered.

He says they will be charged with murder, carjacking, and possession of a suspected stolen motor vehicle.

They will appear in court on Monday and the investigation continues.
