Wanted murder suspect arrested in PE


Port Elizabeth police have arrested a wanted murder suspect near Missionvale.

Spokesperson, Colonel Priscilla Naidu says 19-year old Siphelele Gxasheka was arrested on Friday while walking in Goniwe Street in the Zinyoka area.

She says it is alleged that a member of the public spotted the suspect, and recognised him after his picture was published in a newspaper in January.

The anonymous person contacted the police, and the teenager was spotted and arrested.

Naidu says it is alleged that 32-year old Adrian Kammies and his fiancé were at their home in Kleinskool in August last year, when the suspect came to the house and fired shots through an open window.

Kammies sustained multiple gunshot wounds and died at the scene.

Gxasheka was linked through forensic evidence.

He was also wanted for a house robbery which took place in New Brighton in September 2018.

He will appear in the Port Elizabeth magistrates'' court on a charge of murder on Monday and again on Tuesday on a charge of house robbery.
