The 28-year-old man was found hiding in a house in KwaMashu's L section yesterday.  

Police confiscated a pistol and six rounds of ammunition.  

The suspect - who faces charges of murder and attempted murder - is accused of firing the gun that claimed the life of a 68-year-old man in the Ezimpongo area. 

Meanwhile, in another murder case - prosecutors say the four suspects accused of gunning down two Durban cops - want bail.  

They will make a request at the Verulam Magistrate's Court.    

Constable Nomasonto Mhlanga and Inspector Zephania Dladla were disarmed and shot in Bhambayi near Phoenix last month.  

They had been stationed outside the home of an ANC councillor for his protection.  

The accused appeared in the Verulam Magistrate's Court and the matter was postponed to June 10 for the application for bail.
