Wolmaransstad - A 31-year old woman was arrested in North West over the weekend for the murder of 66-year-old David Alexander Barclay.

According to police spokesperson, Emelda Sethlako, Barclay was shot outside a lodge in Wolmaransstad early Saturday morning.

It is alleged Barcley went outside to investigate why the dogs were barking, when he was shot on the porch. Sethlako confirmed Barclay’s body was found in a pool of blood with a gunshot wound to the neck.

The suspect was arrested shortly after the incident and police are still searching for more suspects.
 
According to North West Agri’s Cor van Vuuren, Barclay was a British immigrant that had been living in South Africa for the past couple of years. Van Vuuren said it is rumoured that Barclay was a descendant of the founders of the former Barclay’s Bank.

The woman will be appearing in court on Wednesday.
