The Provincial Commissioner of KwaZulu-Natal Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has applauded a multidisciplinary team comprising officers from the Crime Intelligence, Cato Manor Crime Prevention, Inanda Detectives and Durban Metro Police which cornered and arrested four of the most wanted suspected murderers who have been terrorising the community of Amaoti in Inanda since June 2024. The suspects were arrested in Cato Manor on Saturday, 19 April 2025.
Police followed positive intelligence about the suspects who were in hiding at a house in Cato Manor and upon arrival, police found the four suspects in possession of two firearms, ammunition and suspected stolen property such as laptops and cellphones. The suspects have so far been linked with over 20 cases of murder and several cases of attempted murder which they allegedly committed in the Amaoti area of Inanda from June 2024 to date. Investigations are ongoing and a search for more suspects continues.
The arrested suspects, aged between 21 and 33, will appear in the Ntuzuma Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, 24 April 2025.
