The Sunnyside police management commends the investigating officer for his outstanding professionalism in dealing with an investigation that followed the death of a 28 year old woman whose decomposed body was recovered in a chimney inside the building of the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in Pretoria during the month of December last year.

Detective Constable Jeremiah Mpiti had to overcome a lack of direct evidence by piecing together facts through a meticulous investigation, leading to the arrest of a 34 year old man in Mamelodi on Friday 16 November 2018.

The suspect is expected to face a murder charge in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on Monday 19 November 2018.
Brigadier Ramakamakama Kekana, Sunnyside police commander, also expressed gratitude to everyone who assisted the police with information during an investigation whose initial stage resembled an unsolvable jigsaw puzzle.

“We call upon members of the public to partner with the police and blow the whistle on any form of abuse that is directed at women and children,” Kekana said.
