Masondo said a task team was assigned to trace and arrest the suspects.
"The police immediately formed a task team consisting of the Sedibeng District Trio Task Team, Tactical Response Team, K9, Tracking Team and the Provincial Crime Intelligence to track down and arrest the suspects," Masondo said.
"Through intelligence-led investigation, information led the team to Kliprivier, Sebokeng, Sharpeville and Vereeniging, where four suspects were apprehended. Police also recovered a firearm and a vehicle used in the commission of the crime."
Gauteng police commissioner Lieutenant-General Tommy Mthombeni commended the Sedibeng District Police and Provincial Crime Intelligence for their prompt and diligent work to ensure the suspects were arrested.
"I'm pleased with the manner in which the team handled this investigation and the quick response in arresting the suspects. Gender-based violence remains a top priority for Gauteng police. The suspects will be brought to justice for the gruesome murder of a woman," Mthombeni said.
