SUSPECTS arrested by Durban Central SAPS for attempted murder, kidnapping and possession of a dangerous weapon, will make their first appearance in Durban Magistrates Court today (Tuesday, 29 September).
This comes after an incident on 27 September at around 11.45pm, when police officers responded to a complaint of a kidnapping in progress on Diakonia Avenue.
“Upon arrival officers were informed by members of the public that three men had stabbed another man, and then jumped into a Hyundai vehicle and fled the scene,” said Sgt Zanele Khomo from Durban Central SAPS.
She said officers patrolled the area looking for the vehicle.
