Woman Arrested After Her Nephew’s Body Was Discovered In Her Backyard (Pics)
Major General Girly Mbele, the acting Gauteng provincial commissioner of police, has condemned the incident in which a 16-year-old boy was allegedly assaulted to death and buried in the backyard by his aunt and her son.
The 35-year-old lady was arrested, and she was scheduled to appear in Tsakane Magistrate’s Court on Monday, facing allegations of murder, perjury, and defeating the ends of justice.
Neo Mahlangu, the teenager, was reported missing by his aunt last month. Neo had presumably gone to see his aunt when he was assassinated.
He was beaten to death and buried in the backyard by the aunt’s 14-year-old son, according to reports.

Meanwhile, in weekend operations across Gauteng, police detained over 700 people for a variety of offences, including rape, sexual assaults, murder, possession of unlicensed firearms, possession of suspected stolen property, and illicit liquor trade.
Others were apprehended for reportedly trading in drugs, driving under the influence of booze, and being undocumented immigrants, according to Gauteng police spokeswoman Colonel Dimakatso Sello.
