Media Statement DURBAN – Police in Ndwedwe have arrested a 48-year-old father and his 25-year-old son in connection with a case of murder following the recovery of a body in a demolished pit latrine at Mwolokohlo village in Ndwedwe on Thursday afternoon. The 25-year-old was initially arrested for possession of an unlicenced firearm and further investigation revealed that he was the last person who was seen with the person who had gone missing.
