ANA reports that a 22-year-old man has been arrested in Pinetown, near Durban, in connection with the murder of at least two police officers in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).  

Police said in a statement on Monday:  “It is alleged that the suspect was involved in the murder of Warrant Officer Clement Fikani Mkhize.  Mkhize was off duty when he was attacked at home in the Ezigeni Reserve, Umbumbulu, on 11 August 2018 and later succumbed to his injuries at the local hospital.”  Detectives have also linked the suspect to an attack on another police officer, Sergeant Njabulo Linda, in June.  Linda was attacked at Malukazi and his service pistol was also stolen.  Police said four other men had already been arrested in July in connection with Linda’s murder.  All the suspects are in custody and will appear in the Durban Magistrate’s Court on Thursday.
