Pretoria - A third suspect has been arrested for the
kidnapping and killing of a Pretoria police officer, police said on Monday.
A 26-year-old woman was arrested in the KwaZulu-Natal
Midlands town of Estcourt in the early hours of Monday morning, spokesperson Lieutenant
Colonel Lungelo Dlamini said.
She would appear in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court on
Tuesday.
Major Abram Tselana, 45, was last seen when he went to
withdraw R23 000 from a bank in central Pretoria on 31 December.
A woman approached him and they drove off in a red VW Jetta.
Four days later his body was found near Paul Kruger Street in Pretoria. He had
an open wound to his head.
On 11 January, the 57-year-old owner of the vehicle was
arrested.
A week ago, a 34-year-old man was arrested in the Vaal Rand.
The two men, Bheki Mhlongo and Zukisa Mablayi, were expected to appear in the
Pretoria Magistrate's Court on Monday and apply for bail.
Dlamini said police were looking for more suspects involved in
Tselana's killing.
