A female suspect has been arrested in connection with the brutal murder of 22-year-old Nigerian e-hailing driver, Isaac Satlet, in Pretoria West, South Africa. The incident occurred on February 11, 2026, after Satlet picked up passengers through an e-hailing platform. The suspect is expected to appear before the Atteridgeville Magistrate’s Court on February 16, 2026, facing charges of car hijacking and murder.
According to police reports, Satlet was attacked by a male and female pair who hijacked his vehicle. His body and the stolen car were later found in Atteridgeville. Dashcam footage, which captured part of the incident, aided in the swift arrest of the female suspect. Authorities are still searching for the male suspect, with more arrests expected.
The case has sparked widespread outrage, with calls for improved safety measures for e-hailing drivers. Satlet, a student set to graduate next month, was remembered as hardworking and ambitious, with plans to further his studies in Canada.
