Plans in place to receive Lindani Myeni's body says family
The family of KZN father, Lindani Myeni, says they've made plans to receive his body for burial, from the US.
The 29-year-old was shot dead by police in Hawaii, who'd responded to a robbery in progress, earlier this month.
But his American wife, Lindsay and family say they have unanswered questions about the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
The former rugby player's body is expected to arrive in South Africa on Friday.
Myeni's grandmother Sizani Nhleko says they plan on having a memorial service next Thursday and his funeral, two days later.

She says they have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from family and others.
" We are thankful to the premier's office for their assistance. They have helped a lot with the body being paid by them to bring from USA to South Africa. And to the Rugby Club member who offered to take the body to Richard's Bay."
