“Through an extensive investigation by the Hawks, the suspect was positively linked with the murder case,” said Warrant Officer Ndiphiwe Mhlakuvana.

Hawks Eastern Cape provincial head Major General Mboiki Obed Ngwenya praised the investigating team for ensuring that the long-standing suspect was successfully denied bail and remanded in custody.
