They were arrested in Umzinto last week in a operation by the Provincial Taxi Violence Task Team and other units.

Both of them, aged 26 and 28-years, were linked to the killing of 28-year-old Sbusiso Mbutho in Scottburgh earlier this month.

One of the accused was found in possession of an unlicensed 9mm pistol with six rounds of ammunition. 

The duo is due back in court next Wednesday.
