IOL News reports that a security guard, identified by police as Wessel Badenhorst, 55, has been arrested by police in Mpumalanga on charges of murder and attempted murder.
Badenhorst appeared before the Delmas District Court on Monday, and the case was postponed to 3 April for a formal bail application. Police reports indicate that on Friday, at around 11pm, police and emergency medical services personnel were called to a farm situated in Delmas. “Upon arrival, they found a female with gunshot wound(s) as well as a security guard holding a firearm. There were two vehicles at the scene. One of the car’s windscreen was riddled with bullet holes,” said Colonel Donald Mdhluli. The woman indicated that she came to the farm with a male friend whose whereabouts was unknown at that point. A search was conducted and the body of a dead male person with multiple gunshot wounds was found. “The female victim managed to confirm the body as being that of her friend who disappeared during the shooting,” said Mdhluli. After conducting preliminary investigations, police arrested the security guard on charges of murder and attempted murder.
