“During their interception, information at police disposal was that the suspects were enroute to execute a hit on a man and two of his bodyguards. The suspects were also wanted for murders of people mostly involved in the construction” Netshiunda said.Last week, a 26-year-old suspect wanted in connection with a triple murder was killed in a shootout with police officers in KZN.

Provincial Saps spokesperson Brigadier Jay Naicker said officers from the Inanda Task Team proceeded to Lusaka area at Inanda where the wanted suspect was hiding out. “He was being sought for three counts of murder and one of attempted murder.
