Cape Town – Police in KwaZulu-Natal are searching for at least two suspects involved in the kidnapping and killing of Warrant Officer Nkosinathi Ntinga.
The incident occurred when Ntinga and his wife, who is also a police Sergeant, were at their home with a colleague on Tuesday night.
“Information at police’s disposal indicate that two armed suspects barged into the house and robbed the police officers of their service pistols and cellphones before forcing both Warrant Officer Ntinga and the clerk inside a vehicle which belonged to the clerk and drove off. The Sergeant was left in the house unharmed.
“The clerk, who works at the Ntambanana police station, was found lying along the road with injuries, and it is suspected that he was thrown out of a moving vehicle. He was taken to hospital where he is receiving medical attention,” KZN police spokesperson Robert Netshiunda said.
Netshiunda said Ntinga’s body was discovered with multiple gunshot wounds near the Umsunduze River bank.
The suspects abandoned the vehicle in a nearby sugar cane field.
The Provincial Commissioner of KwaZulu-Natal has ordered the mobilisation of maximum resources to track down the suspects.
The investigation is ongoing to apprehend those responsible for this heinous crime.
