POLICE have charged a 34-year-old man with the murder of Seon Waldron called “Catty” who was found floating in the Mahaicony Creek on May 8, 2018.

The suspect is expected to make a court appearance today. Waldron’s sister said that after realising her brother was missing and heading out in search of ‘Catty’ and not finding him, she made a report at the Cove and John Police Station.

Later upon following up the case, a person said that there was a body floating in the Mahaicony Creek. They then left and went to the location that they were told about and found Waldron floating next to a koker in the vicinity of Strath Campbell Village, Mahaicony, ECD. The badly decomposed body was taken out of the Mahaicony Creek. An autopsy was conducted on Wednesday morning, witnessed by Waldron’s sister. The autopsy confirmed that the man was strangled and had suffered blows to the body. Seon Waldron was employed as a labourer at a cattle farm in Mahaicony.
