A man held last week in connection with the murder of Samantha Benjamin, the Buxton woman whose dismembered body was found at the Annandale foreshore, has been released on station bail, a source said.
The man was taken into custody at the end of last week and the 72-hour period within which he could be held without charge expired.
Several other persons who were taken into custody for questioning were also released.
So far only one man, Imran Ramsaywack, a labourer who confessed to the crime, was charged last week Tuesday at the Sparendaam Magistrate’s Court with the murder of the woman.
Benjamin, a United States citizen, was the proprietor of a boutique in the Vendor’s Mall on Water Street.
Her dismembered remains were found at the Annandale foreshore on March 26.
