Gauteng police have arrested five suspects accused of hijacking, kidnapping and murder after the decomposed bodies of women, who were reported missing on December 31, were found at a plot in Poortjie near Orange Farm last week.
Provincial police spokesperson Col Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi said the victims were reported missing on December 31 2025. The charge was changed to hijacking and kidnapping after a ransom demand was made to one of the victims mother.
Resources were mobilised to trace and rescue the victims and on January 8, their partially decomposed bodies were discovered in the veld at Poortjie, she said.
