Police Minister Bheki Cele said on Monday that Siphamandla Khomo, who was allegedly the main suspect responsible for the deaths of five women in Mthwalume, had confessed to the killings.
Durban - "It will be speculation, whatever we say about his death at the present moment. As you know, the law says if they die in the hands of the police, IPID must investigate," Cele told the media outside the Umzumbe Magistrate's Court earlier in the day.
The second suspect was released on Monday for lack of evidence, according to National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson, Natasha Kara.
