Johannesburg - A 32-year-old man has been arrested in the murder case of Dustan Blom and is likely to appear in court today. Blom's decomposing body was found in the boot of his car at Montecasino on Sunday.

The suspect is the second to be arrested after 24-year-old ex-stripper Maruschka Robinson was taken into custody earlier this week.

Security guards were patrolling the parking lot on Sunday afternoon when they noticed a stench coming from the car.

Robinson and her boyfriend allegedly dumped the victim’s body in the boot of a car and left him in the casino's parking lot on Friday.

During the course of the weekend, the pair stole the victim’s bank cards and withdrew around R35,000.

They were caught on the casino’s CCTV cameras.

Gauteng police won't say what connection there is, if any, between Robinson and the 32-year-old man who was arrested.

However more details should emerge when he appears in court.

Meanwhile, Robinson's ex-boss, Lollipop Lounge owner Gigi, says she remembers the woman who went by the stage name Angelique as being a hard worker and good mother.

“I remember when she was pregnant she was extremely happy about having a child and she used to always bring photos of the baby. She was a good mother and hard worker.”

The ex-stripper will remain in custody until her court appearance next week.
