CAPE TOWN – A man has been arrested in connection with a family murder in the Eastern Cape.
Detectives will now try to link him to the murders of his wife and five children in the Dabekweni area.
He was traced to King Williams Town.
The police acted after a notice that the alleged murderer was hiding in an apartment, belonging to a relative.
Detectives believe that at the time of his arrest, the suspect was apparently preparing to flee South Africa back to his home country.
Tembinkosi Kinana from the police said the suspect was apparently going to flee the country.
“The arrest of the suspect within 24 hours of the incident must be seen as clear proof of our commitment and the seriousness of the crimes against women and children. Gender-based violence and femicide are a serious crime under South African law . “
