Domestic worker, gardener arrested for Cresta man’s murder
Gauteng police are investigating the death of a 78-year-old man whose body was found buried in a shallow grave in Cresta, north of Johannesburg.
The man was reported missing on Easter Saturday.
Gauteng police spokesperson Mavela Masondo says the suspects were charged with kidnapping, murder and defeating the ends of justice.
"A tenant reported his landlord missing after not seeing him for a few days. Investigation revealed that the victim's car, a white VW Polo was moving around Johannesburg and that the victim's bank cards were being used.
"Further investigation led to the arrest of a male gardener and female domestic worker, both employed by the victim, and two other male suspects. The suspects pointed to a shallow grave in the victim's backyard where he was allegedly killed and buried."
Suspects are set to appear at Randburg Magistrate's Court on Thursday.
