Female suspect detained at Atteridgeville Station
The arrest of a female suspect in connection with the murder of 22-year-old Nigerian student and Bolt driver Isaac Satlat marks a significant development in a case that has gripped Pretoria’s e-hailing community this week.
Gauteng police confirmed the arrest of a female suspect believed to be one of the individuals captured in the dashcam footage. Authorities indicated that investigations are ongoing and that additional arrests may follow. The suspect is expected to appear in court on charges including murder and hijacking.
SAPS comments on the case
Police spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Mavela Masondo said preliminary investigations indicate the driver was killed by two passengers who had requested an e-hailing service in Pretoria West on Wednesday. The vehicle and the victim’s body were later found in Atteridgeville on the same day, with dashcam footage circulating widely on social media.
Police have cautioned the public against circulating graphic footage related to the case, warning that the sharing of such material may compromise investigations and cause further distress to the victim’s family.
The arrest marks the first breakthrough in the investigation, but the case remains active as authorities work to locate other individuals believed to be involved in the killing.
