Self-confessed wife-killer ‘could be linked to more killings’
A traditional healer charged with the murder of his wife could possibly be linked to the killing of more people.
The 42-year-old suspect was arrested at the weekend for allegedly killing his 23-year-old wife and burying her in a shallow grave outside their house in Randfontein.
Police spokesperson Solomon Sibiya says the man is facing charges of murder and the possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition.
Sibiya says he was arrested by the police’s flying squad.

"The information that they received is that the suspect had buried some bodies around his yard. The members proceeded to the scene where, upon arrival, they managed to recover firearms and 21 rounds of ammunition and the suspect voluntarily confessed to murdering his wife."
Sibiya says the husband showed the police where he had buried his wife’s body.
"The body was exhumed. It was wrapped in a white sheet."
The suspect appeared at the Randfontein Magistrates court on Monday and the case was postponed for further investigation.
