Breakthrough in Sakhumzi murder case
Gauteng police have arrested two suspects for the murder of the Sakhumzi Restaurant manager.
Khwezi Hudson was gunned down at the restaurant on Vilakazi Street in Soweto when two armed men tried to gain entry to the restaurant after closing time.
The incident highlights crime in Soweto, with business owners saying they will not be intimidated by criminals.
Police spokesperson Captain Kay Makhubela says an intelligence driven operation led to a breakthrough this morning.
"Gauteng Police arrested two of the most wanted suspects who were allegedly involved in the killing of the 60 year-old man at Sakhumzi Restaurant on 29 January. One suspect was arrested in Kwa-Zulu Natal and the other in Soweto."
Makhubela says the weapon and the vehicle suspected to have been used during the crime were also recovered.
The suspects will appear in Orlando Magistrate's Court on 15 February 2017.
