Murder suspects nabbed following police raid in Nquthu
The police have been on the hunt for the killers of a man who was shot dead at his home - the motive for which is not yet known.
Two men, aged 38 and 59, have been arrested for the murder of Khanyisani Mncube (35), who was shot dead near his home in the Mfeka area of Nquthu.
Mncube was killed on September 13 when two men came looking for him at his home. They followed him when he arrived home and shot him dead.
Following up on information last Wednesday, Nquthu detectives – backed up by Visible Policing Unit members – swooped on a location in the Isandlwana area, where the suspects were hiding out.
The two men were arrested for murder.
A further charge of possession of an unlicensed firearm was added to one of the suspects after being found with a pistol.
The unlicensed firearm will be sent for ballistic testing to verify if it can be linked to the case as a murder weapon.
Both suspects have appeared in the Nquthu Magistrate’s Court and the case was postponed to October 30 for a bail application.
Both men are still in custody.
