A 29-year-old Mozambican was arrested on Sunday in connection with the kidnapping and murder of a 26-year-old woman in the North West. 

Nomsa Jass went missing on August 25 after leaving her place of work in Potchefstroom.  

After a missing person inquiry was registered on August 26, her Volkswagen Polo Vivo vehicle was found at a mall in Springs in Gauteng. 

“An intelligence-driven operation led to the arrest of the suspect, and the partially decomposed body of [Jass] was discovered on Sunday in the bushes along the R501 road at Blybank, in Carletonville,” North West police spokesperson Lt-Col Amanda Funani said. 

The suspect was arrested and charged with kidnapping, robbery and murder. He is expected to appear in the Oberholzer magistrate’s court in Carletonville on Tuesday.
