Police yesterday arrested the partner of Melissa Shelver who, nine months pregnant at the time, was shot twice in the stomach during a horror "hijacking" outside East London last week causing her baby to die.
Top investigators, who worked around the clock, cracked the case in the early hours of yesterday when they swooped first on the alleged hitman and another suspected accomplice - arresting them at a house in Mdantsane NU19.
Then, following what police said was a confession from one of the suspects, they moved on Shelver's partner David Best, who was also shot in the chest and wounded during the "hijacking".
According to The Herald, the suspected accomplice was believed to be an intermediary between the alleged hitman and Best.

I just feel ill. I'm speechless. :silenced:
Funny enough, when I watched them interview her boyfriend (the night of the incident), I was surprised at how calm he was. I was expecting tears or sadness. Couldn't understand why he wasn't devastated- now I know why :furious:
I can't imagine what this poor woman is going through![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
