A man accused of being involved in the murder of a Knysna businessman is expected to make a first appearance at the Knysna magistrate’s court on Friday.
Police spokesperson Sergeant Christopher Spies said the arrest came after an extensive investigation by Knysna detectives in collaboration with Garden Route District Crime Intelligence and a private security company.
He said the collaborative efforts had yielded positive results when police arrested a 32-year-old suspect in connection with the murder of Mawande Kondlo, 46.
Spies said Kondlo’s body had been found next to a gravel road near the turn-off on Uniondale Road on January 17 at 6.50pm.
“Investigations at the time revealed that an off-duty police official discovered the body of the man with his hands and legs tied with a cloth,” he said.
“It was later discovered that the victim had a wound to the head. He was declared dead by paramedics on the scene.”
The suspect will appear on a charge of murder.
