Tembisa cemetery murder suspect arrested in Limpopo
Investigators linked the killing to a suspect found asleep in his room after tracing him from Tembisa to Limpopo, police said.
- On Saturday, September 26, police arrested a suspect in Mohlabaneng, Limpopo, for the murder of Ntombifuthu Nxumalo, whose body was discovered that day at Mooifontein Cemetery in Tembisa.
- Witnesses told detectives they heard a woman screaming near the cemetery at 23:00, and Nxumalo was found with severe head injuries and stones nearby, prompting inquiries into a possible stoning.
- This arrest coincides with a broader investigation into a series of deaths involving women across Ekurhuleni since July, where the total number of bodies found had risen to 11 by September 27.
- Acting National Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Puleng Dimpane praised the multidisciplinary team for swift apprehension, stating police will continue pursuing perpetrators of gender-based violence and femicide.
- Police have not established a link between this suspect and other Ekurhuleni murders, warning against treating these cases as the work of a single killer without evidence.
