Johannesburg - A man wanted for two murders that took place at the Jabulani Hostel in Soweto has been arrested, Johannesburg police said on Saturday.
“On Friday night, we arrested a 29-year-old man wanted for a murder that occurred in March and another that occurred on Christmas Day,” said Warrant Officer Kay Makhubela.
He said the arrest was made after police received information that the man was at the Jabulani Hostel where the murders had taken place.
