Police in South Africa say a 38-year-old man is arrested after DNA evidence allegedly links him to multiple rape cases dating back to 2012. The arrest follows what the report describes as a 12-year investigation.
The available account frames the case as a long-running probe that takes on new momentum after DNA results connect a suspect to past offences. It does not provide additional details on the number of cases, the locations of the allegations within the North West province, the investigative agencies involved, or whether any charges have been formally filed at this stage. The report also does not specify the exact method or timeline for how the DNA evidence is obtained and matched.
