Relative among four in court for murder of retired Eshowe cop
Four men are due to line up in the Melmoth Magistrate's Court on Monday in connection with the murder of a retired cop.
The body of Sibusiso Mbonambi (62), who was shot, was recovered from a bush in Makhasaneni area this past weekend.
KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Nqobile Gwala says detectives acted on a tip-off on Friday and went to investigate reports that two men were trying to clean a blood-stained vehicle at a service station in Eshowe.
The pair were arrested.
She says two others, including a relative of the 62-year-old cop, were later taken into custody.
"Further investigation led police to the arrest of two more suspects at Eshowe. One of the suspects is related to the deceased, while the other suspect is a former employee of a community radio station.
"During the course of the investigation, it was revealed that the deceased was killed due to insurance policies that were matured.
"Four suspects aged between 28 and 38 are expected to appear before the Melmoth Magistrate's Court tomorrow [Monday] on charges of murder."
