Pretoria - The domestic worker of a woman killed in her Laudium, Pretoria home last week has been charged with her murder, police said on Tuesday.
Captain Danie de Jager said Sara Malatji, 22, appeared in court on Monday and was charged with murder and house robbery.
Rashida Rahman, 49, was found dead in her Himalaya street, Laudium home last Monday. She had been strangled to death.
Blood was found in the passage leading to the main bedroom where Rahman's body was found with a cut on her face.
Police found her domestic worker tied up on the floor. At the time, the domestic worker said she had seen two men approaching the house, but could not explain how they gained entry to the well-secured house.
De Jager said more arrests were expected soon.
Malatji is expected to appear in court again on Monday.
