Suspected hitman nabbed while taking his wedding vows in Sundumbili
KwaZulu-Natal police say they have slapped handcuffs on a suspected hitman who was about to tie the knot in Sundumbili township, on the north coast.
The 37-year-old groom was exchanging vows with his future wife at Gcotsheni on Sunday when officers stormed the ceremony.
Earlier that day, teams investigating multiple taxi-related killings, went to the rondavel and arrested two suspects after a shootout.
Firearms and ammunition were recovered.
KZN police spokesperson, Jay Naicker says the main suspect they had been looking for - the groom - fled the scene.
He's linked to the murder of 53-year-old taxi owner Siyabonga Mbonambi in Mandeni.
Naicker says officers returned to the area later that day and found the man getting married:
"The 37-year-old suspect was then placed under arrest. He is linked to a murder committed in June 2019 at Mandeni."
All three suspects appeared in the Nyoni Magistrates Court.
