Hunt for suspects in Chilean tourist murder
The killers of Chilean national, Slavko Yaksic remain on the run. This as police say DNA test results confirm the body found in Ladysmith, in northern KwaZulu-Natal last month is that of the 29-year-old computer engineer.
Yaksic was reported missing after he failed to check in for his flight back home in early October.
The tourist's family members launched a search for him, which led them to the mortuary where the body of a man carrying a Chilean passport was taken.
