Two due in Durban court for R6.5m life cover fraud
Two people accused of insurance fraud will have to present themselves in the Durban Regional Court.
The duo were served with summons on Tuesday to appear in court in two months' time.
It's alleged the 33-year-old suspect applied for the R6.5 million life cover with an insurer in February 2020 - listing the 45-year-old as a beneficiary.
Three months later, the beneficiary submitted a claim alleging the insured person had died.

But the insurance company smelt a rat and investigated.
It discovered that the policyholder was alive and well and opened a case of fraud at Berea SAPS.
The case was handed over to the Hawks.
The duo are due to stand before a magistrate on 5 July
