Botched’s hit on makhwapheni, woman arrested
Four male suspects and a woman are expected to appear before the court for an alleged murder of a 63-year-old woman in Ntabamhlophe, Pietermaritzburg.
According to the Provincial police spokesperson, Colonel Robert Netshiunda the Pietermaritzburg Public Order Policing (POP) officers who were performing crime prevention duties on the N3 highway, arrested four suspected hitmen and a woman who allegedly ordered a hit on another woman on Sunday night.
“A 30-year-old woman reportedly hired hitmen to kill another woman whom she accused of having an affair with her boyfriend. The woman travelled with the four men to Ntabamhlophe where the hit was to be carried out. The report suggests that the suspects shot the mother of the intended victim in a case of mistaken identity. The 63-year-old woman was certified dead at the scene,” Netshiunda said.
“The suspects fled the scene and the POP police officers were alerted of the incident and intercepted the vehicle near the Mooi River Toll Plaza. The woman claimed to have asked for a lift from the four men, however, preliminary investigations confirmed that she was the owner of the vehicle.
“All five suspects were arrested and one of them had blood stains on his clothing. A firearm with three rounds of ammunition was found in the possession of the suspects,” Netshiunda continued.
