JOHANNESBURG - Families of the victims of the Marshalltown fire are welcoming the arrest of the alleged arsonist.
A 29-year-old confessed to the Khampepe Commission of Inquiry into the fire.
He said he torched the building to dispose of a body of someone he'd strangled to death.

Spokesperson for the Marshalltown Fire Justice Campaign, Trevor Shaku, says they also want the drug lord who issued orders arrested.
"We want police and law enforcement agencies in the city to ensure a person who told this guy to go and kill to also be arrested."
