He was arrested following the brutal attack on patrollers at the Marry Me informal settlement in Soshanguve last week.  

Last week, two men - aged 27 and 50 - appeared in the Pretoria North Magistrates Court. 

The State arrested them for the possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition.  

Now, the younger of the men has officially been charged with murder.  

This is after he was taken through an identity parade.
