Media Statement from KwaZulu Natal Media Centre Update: The Umzinto SAPS Detectives and forensic experts, recovered the head last night in a gumtree plantation in Ellingham, adjacent to the N2 freeway in Park Rynie. On Tuesday, 10 November, at about 16:30, investigators were informed that the community of the Msholozi temporary housing settlement in Umzinto had surrounded a house that the wanted suspect had visited. A 31-year-old man was arrested and detained. Investigations led detectives to the scene where the head was recovered. The head, which was in an advanced state of decomposition, had been placed in several plastic shopping bags where it was buried in the ground. It has been removed to the Park Rynie State Mortuary where tissue samples would be obtained for forensic analysis to confirm that it is indeed that of the deceased Nawaaz Khan. The arrested suspect who resides in Malangeni, is due to appear in the Umzinto Magistrates Court later this week. We wish to convey our thanks and appreciation to the communities of Umzinto as well and the Community Policing Forum (CPF) for their support and assistance in apprehending the suspect and solving this gruesome murder.
