A woman, arrested in connection with the killing of an e-hailing driver in Pretoria West, is expected to appear in the Atteridgeville Magistrate’s Court on Monday.

She’s facing charges including hijacking and murder.

“The police in Gauteng have arrested a female suspect after an e-hailing driver was allegedly killed while inside inside the vehicle on Monday in Pretoria West. More arrests are imminent as police investigation is continuing.”
