Woman arrested in connection with murder of e-hailing driver due in Atteridgeville court

A woman arrested in connection with the murder of an e-hailing driver is expected to appear in the Atteridgeville Magistrates Court on Monday.

The act was caught on the vehicle's dashcam, and it has been widely shared on social media.

Police said the victim was murdered by a male and female who had requested the services of an e-hailing driver in Pretoria West last Wednesday.

The hijacked vehicle and the body of the victim were found in Atteridgeville on the same day.

Gauteng Transport MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela said she hopes justice will prevail.

“These are the issues that the new regulations are trying to address, like having panic buttons inside the vehicle, the dashcam. Technology is proving that it can assist us in dealing with crime. We are hopeful that the justice system in our country will set an example with individuals who have done bad things.”
