The Pinetown Cluster communications officer, Captain Bongumusa Manqele, said it is alleged that five suspects attacked the man in his Majuba Lane home on December, 30 last year.
“The victim was assaulted by the suspects after being accused of stealing radio speakers from one of the suspects. He succumbed to his injuries and a murder docket was opened at the Pinetown police station for investigation.
“Police are still searching for two of the other suspects, who are still at large,” said Manqele.
The three arrested men are expected to appear at the Pinetown Magistrate’s Court soon.
