Breakthrough imminent in Namhla Mtwa murder probe – Eastern Cape police
Eastern Cape police commissioner Lilian Mene believes a breakthrough is imminent in the investigation into the murder of 35-year-old Namhla Mtwa.
Mtwa, who was an employee at the OR Tambo municipality, was shot nine times on her driveway in Mthatha last month.
Her sister posted photos on social media of Namhla with bruises on her face and body, claiming she was in an abusive relationship.
Mene says she has appointed a senior detective to oversee the investigation following a request from Premier Oscar Mabuyane.
“Members of the family and the public are therefore assured that Namhla’s case is in the hands of capable and professionally trained detectives. With the support and response demonstrated by the community and we are optimistic that a breakthrough will be made.
"Whoever possesses critical information that will add value to the work of the investigating team and further lead to the arrest of the suspect, should please share it with the police to safeguard the investigation from potentially inaccurate information that may indirectly and inadvertently mislead the course of the ongoing and sensitive investigations."
