5 September 2019
A fifth person has been arrested and joins a minor and three adults who are accused of murdering SA National Defence Force (SANDF) Staff Sergeant Michael Njomane.
The fifth person appeared in the Blue Downs District Court for the first time on Thursday, following the discovery of Njomane's burnt body in the boot of a government vehicle in August.
Police spokesperson Captain FC Van Wyk told News24 that the 25-year-old man was arrested at his parents' home in Blue Downs on Tuesday afternoon.
The three people, including the minor, have already appeared in court and last Friday, the police's serious and violent crimes unit arrested the fourth person – a 27-year-old man – at a house in Malibu Village. He made his first appearance on Monday, September 2.
