Two suspects were arrested and were due to appear in the eShowe Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 22 February.
Hijacked vehicle found
A combined effort between SAPS K9 Unit of Empangeni and other security forces led to the recovery of a motor vehicle and two unlicenced firearms in Melmoth.
A VW Polo was hijacked last night at about 11pm at Thubalethu outside Melmoth.
Police and tracker officials located the vehicle on Monday morning at about 7am on a gravel road between eShowe and Melmoth.
A 25-year-old suspect was arrested and, on searching the suspect’s house, two unlicensed firearms were recovered.
Various documents found in the suspect’s house indicates that he has previously been involved in other hijackings.
The suspect was due to appear in Melmoth Magistrate’s Court yesterday, 24 February.
Information needed
The eShowe SAPS are urgently looking for any information, which could lead to solving the murder of Nobuhle Zungu (20) of KwaKhoza outside eShowe.
It is believed that on Friday, 19 February, Nobuhle had taken a lift from the eShowe central business district to Kwakhoza.
During the morning, a relative received a message from Nobuhle saying that she had been abducted by some men.
The relative phoned her, but when the phone was answered Nobuhle did not speak and the voices of a man could be heard in the background.
On Saturday morning, Nobuhle had still not returned home and the community conducted a search in the sugar cane fields between her home and eShowe.
Nobuhle’s body was recovered not very far from her home at noon.
She had been stabbed several times. Anyone with information with regard to this case is asked to contact D/Const J Wynne on 035 4734211 or 035 4734215 or the Crime Stop 08600 10111.
