News24 reports that a security officer was shot and killed and his body dumped inside a manhole in Kwazulu-Natal (KZN) on Friday.

The 33-year-old Reaction Unit SA (RUSA) officer was on duty in Riverhorse Valley when he was killed. According to RUSA's operations manager, Vinod Singh, a search commenced when his colleagues realised the man had not been providing reports to the operation center. "On arrival at the location, a pool of blood was detected next to the manhole. The body of the reaction officer was discovered inside. The golf cart he had been using for the patrol was located about 100km away from the sewer," Singh reported. Reaction officers canvassed the proximity, which resulted in the arrest of two suspects, one of whom was also a security officer. A firearm was recovered and the arrested officer has since been dismissed. The suspects are expected to appear in court this week.
