Two men have been arrested for the murder of a 51-year-old
Goodwood woman.
The Cook Street resident’s body was found in a store room in
her home on Tuesday 29 May around 21:30.
“According to the person who approached police to report the
victim as missing, she was last seen during the early hours of Monday 28 May.
“The deceased’s grey Hyundai Elantra and a hard drive from
the CCTV was missing from the scene. The Hyundai was circulated as possibly
stolen,” explains Captain Frederick van Wyk, a provincial police spokesperson.
He says members of the K9 unit spotted the stolen vehicle
and a VW Jetta driving in Elsies River around 23:30.
“The members followed the two suspicious vehicles until both
stopped and the driver of the Jetta approached the Hyundai.
“The two drivers aged 30 and 32 were arrested and the stolen
hard drive was recovered.”
He adds that a post-mortem will be conducted to determine
the cause of death.
Both suspects will appear in the Goodwood Magistrate’s Court
soon on a charge of murder.
