Family of slain elderly KZN women devastated at loss of sole breadwinner
The family of one of the two elderly women who were found in a shallow grave in Umgababa says they're devastated by the murder of their sole breadwinner.
Sixty-one-year-old Zanele Mbuso and 81-year-old Monica Xulu were last seen on Women's Day.
The pair had gone out to shop for grocery items for the local creche they worked at.
After a ten-day search, their bodies were found buried near the daycare centre on Friday.
A security guard has been arrested.
Speaking on behalf of Mbuso's family, Dawn Gounden, who's with Renegade Search and Rescue, says they don't believe only one suspect was involved.
"The emotional rollercoaster that the family is now facing after being informed that the key witness who was also known to both the women, is actually the perpetrator who was arrested.
"It is known that the alleged perpetrator tried to defame Zanele by advising that she had taken Monica to a traditional healer due to Monica requesting such assistance. The families have must faith in the SAPS to ascertain information for the investigation so that justice can prevail."
