Further investigations then led straight to the suspects, aged between 21 and 34, who were all arrested.
“The suspects took police to the Hlokozi area in Highflats where the body of the victim was found in the bush. He had been shot in the upper body,” said Captain Gwala.
The suspects are expected to appear in the Scottburgh Magistrate’s Court soon.
