A 27 year old man was arrested in the Strand by Bellville South Police for the alleged murder of a 21 year-old female Cape Peninsula University student yesterday afternoon.

This comes after Olga Hendrick who is originally from Indwe in the Eastern Cape was found by her friends in her room at the University.

According to Police spokesperson Inspector Bernadine Steyn, it is alleged that the deceased was strangled during an argument with a man at about 23:15.

The suspect, who is also from Indwe, will appear in the Bellville Magistrate's court on Tuesday May 20.
