Suspects lead police to two bodies

According to National Police Commissioner, General Fannie Masemola, the arrested suspects have now led police to two bodies.

While it can’t be confirmed as yet, police believe it is Ndlovu and Mdhluli.

“The area where the remains were found was pointed out to police by the arrested suspects, Masemola said.

“Whether it's them, we are not sure, but pointing out led us to where we are now,” he added.

Masemola explained that the police will now follow the necessary process in terms of DNA, to confirm whether it’s the missing couple.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information is made available.
