Three in Durban court for kidnapping RAF beneficiary
Three people accused of kidnapping and extortion will line up in a Durban court on Tuesday.
The Hawks say two of the suspects went to a home in Inanda on Wednesday looking for the wife of their first victim.
The man is understood to have recently received a payout from the Road Accident Fund payout.
The unit's Simphiwe Mhlongo says they demanded that an affidavit be sent to the bank so that more than R760 000 can be released into their accounts.
"Unfortunately, they didn't find the wife, but they opted to kidnap the 20-year-old. A case was reported at Inanda police station, and a case was allocated to the Hawks."
Mhlongo says one of the suspects is a bank employee who transferred funds from the victim’s bank account.
