Two people have been arrested after a 39-year-old doctor was strangled to death and her domestic worker burnt beyond recognition in Zakariyya Park, south of Johannesburg.
It’s understood the suspects aged 26 and 24 broke into the house yesterday and murdered the home owner and her domestic worker before fleeing the scene with the victim’s silver grey Chevrolet Cruze and household appliances.
Police say the body of the doctor and her domestic worker were found by a neighbour after hearing a huge explosion emanating from their house.
Spokesperson Khalipha Mvula says the suspects were arrested in the Joburg CBD with the assistance of the JMPD after they were found in possession of the vehicle and stolen items.
“They found the lifeless body of the owner of the house lying on the floor. They went further to the outside building and noticed the body of the helper was lying there also deceased. Two suspects were apprehended and the suspects were detained at the Hillbrow SAPS.”
The suspects are expected to appear in the Hillbrow Magistrates court on Monday facing charges of possession of a suspected stolen motor vehicle.
Mvula says they may face more charges.
