A suspect linked to a gang believed to have shot dead a police officer last week has been killed in a police shootout in Inanda, north of Durban on Tuesday afternoon.
A third suspect arrested in connection with the kidnapping and murder of northern KZN cop, Nkosinathi Ntinga is due to make his first appearance in court on Monday.
Hawks officials in KZN say they are following up on a number of leads, and hope to make more arrests soon as they probe the death of a student constable in Kokstad.
