Fourth suspect linked to murder of e-hailing driver to appear in court

A fourth suspect will appear in the Pretoria Magistrates Court on Tuesday, in connection with the murder case of e-hailing driver Isaac David Satlat.

The suspect was sought by police before handing himself over on Monday afternoon.

Twenty-three-year-old Satlat was strangled to death last Wednesday by a man and woman who had requested his service.

His body and car were later found in Attridgeville on the day of his murder, which was captured by a dashcam inside his car.

On Monday, three of his alleged accomplices appeared before the same court on charges of premeditated murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances.

Police spokesperson Colonel Mavela Masondo said, “He is expected to appear before Pretoria Magistrates Court on Tuesday, 17 February 2026. Like the other three suspects, he is facing charges of car hijacking and murder.”
