The Primrose police recently arrested a 49-year-old man suspected of committing a murder two years ago.<\/p>\n

The arrest was made after two years of investigation by dedicated detectives.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The victim’s son told officers that his father had been having drinks with friends and family on the evening of the alleged murder.<\/p>\n

The victim got a little out of hand when he was drunk, reportedly swearing at friends and family members alike.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

When he announced he was going to bed, his son-in-law followed him and confronted him.<\/p>\n

The son-in-law allegedly punched the victim, causing him to fall to the floor and hit his head.<\/p>\n

Due to the injuries to his head he was taken to a local hospital, where he received treatment and was released.<\/p>\n

The following morning, when his partner tried to wake him, he would not respond.<\/p>\n

Paramedics were called to the house, where they declared the victim dead.<\/p>\n

It took two years of careful investigation for the detectives to make the recent arrest.<\/p>\n

The suspect appeared in the Germiston Magistrates Court, where his case was postponed in order for him to enter his plea.<\/p>\n
