Detective Sergeant Mohlomi Mofolo received information about the murder suspect that was seen selling human body parts and later was reported to have crossed the Caledon River illegally to Lesotho where it was suspected that he had a prospective body part dealer. <\/P>

A year later Detective Sergeant Mofolo received information that the suspect came back to visit his mother in Zone 6 where he was subsequently arrested. He was remanded in custody until he was found guilty of premeditated murder.<\/P>
