A 37-year-old businessman from Inanda north of Durban is expected to appear in a local magistrate’s court tomorrow in connection with the kidnapping and murder of his 21-year-old employee. The incident happened on Christmas Day.
KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Robert Netshiunda says the victim was last seen in Umhlanga leaving a restaurant with the suspect.
“Thorough police investigations uncovered the identity of the man who was seen leaving the establishment with the missing woman. During the investigations, it was discovered that the man, who was her manager at work, took her to his home at the Amaotana area in Inanda. The two reportedly had an altercation and the man allegedly strangled her to death and buried her body in his yard.”
