THE Police have arrested a man who was on the run after allegedly killing his landlord with a panga in Soweto.

The 63-year-old man was arrested on Sunday night after a tip-off, said Warrant Officer Kay Makhubela.

Police had been searching for him since the killing on Thursday.

Makhubela said an argument apparently broke out when the landlord gave the couple notice to vacate the property in Dobsonville.

The landlord was found lying dead, with an open wound to the neck.

The tenant ran off but his 53-year-old wife, who remained at the scene, was arrested, said Makhubela. – Sapa
