Mthwalume murders: IPID report confirms no foul play in suspect's death - Cele
Police Minister Bheki Cele says officials found no evidence of foul play in the death of one of the suspects in the Mthwalume murders.
The bodies of five women have been found in sugarcane fields in the area in the last four months.
Two men were taken into custody a day after the fifth body was discovered by police two weeks ago.
It's believed one of them took his own life on the morning of their first court appearance last Monday - apparently after confessing to the crimes.
The case against the second man was subsequently not enrolled due to a lack of evidence against him.
Minister Bheki Cele was back in the south coast on Wednesday - and has told reporters he's received feedback on the investigation by the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID)
"We have received the report from the IPID that confirms that there was no recklessness from the police. That's the report I have."
