The Mercury reports that two suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder of a police officer near Eshowe on Wednesday in an ambush.
Police spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Thulani Zwane said in a statement that the SAPS detective team had made the breakthrough on Sunday morning when the suspects had been traced to Esikhaleni Township where they had been in hiding. “They were found in possession of two firearms, a pistol and an R5 rifle, suspected to be taken from Constable Mavundla (the murdered policeman) during the attack. Both suspects, aged 21 and 22, will be charged for murder, attempted murder and robbery. They will appear in the Eshowe Magistrate’s Court soon,” Zwane indicated.
