A SUSPECT (39) was arrested in Daveyton, Ekurhuleni on Thursday, 7 September for malicious damage to property and intimidation without any resistance.

"The suspect told the victim that he is going to kill him and it might not be now, but it will happen eventually. The victim and his girlfriend ran for their lives,” Thepa said.
She said the suspect was detained at the Daveyton Police Station and will appear in the Daveyton Magistrates Court soon.
Meanwhile, EMPD Officers demolished illegal structures while conducting the municipal by-laws compliance at Elm Road in the Crystal Park area.
