Two in dock for kidnapping of PMB family
Two men, arrested in connection with the murders of five family members, including two children, are to make their first appearance in a Richmond court on Monday.
The victims were reported missing after they were kidnapped from their farm in Boston outside Pietermaritzburg three months ago.
Their charred remains were found after police discovered their burnt vehicle in Richmond in December.
Two suspects were later nabbed and charged with murder and kidnapping. Provincial police spokesperson Thembeka Mbele says last week, organised crime and intelligence members received information about a pair of wanted suspects at Taylors Halt.
“The team proceeded to the house where two suspects were arrested and taken to the Richmond police station for further processing.
“The team is still searching for more suspects.”

The two men, aged 22 and 35, will appear at Richmond Magistrate’s Court on charges of murder, kidnapping, robbery, theft and defeating the ends of justice.
