Fourth suspect arrested for Kabega Park murder


Port Elizabeth police have arrested a 4th suspect  in connection with the murder of 78-year-old Denise Marlene Webber of Kabega Park.

Captain Johann Rheeder says the 28 year-old suspect handed himself over to Kabega Park police on Friday in the company of his lawyer.

Rheeder says the man had failed to appear in court earlier in the week and smart detective work by captain Fanus du Bruin and his team from Kabega Park police station ensured that the word on the street - that he was a marked man - got back to the suspect.

All four men wanted in connection with Webber's murder at her home on the 20th of August are now behind bars.

Rheeder says suspect number four arrested on Friday will appear in court at St Albans on Monday.

His three alleged accomplices will appear again on the 16th of September for a bail application and Rheeder told AlgoaFM news the State is prepared to oppose bail.

Rheeder said it had also emerged that suspect number two Mkhuseli Magura Mcqanda had now been linked to 5 house robbers in the Walmer area, as well as the brutal attack on an East London farmer in June, in which the farmer's hand was hacked off.
