Members of Search and Rescue Unit search for murder victim in the Tugela river

Early this morning members from Durban Search and Rescue Unit, Durban K9 Search and Rescue Unit and Metro Police Search and Rescue Unit responded to a call from Newark SAPS to search for a murder victim after the two arrested suspects pointed out an area in the Tugela river where they dumped the body of the 50-year-old victim from Doringkop in February this year.

His stolen vehicle was recovered which led to the arrest. K9 Lea was utilised to search the area without any success. A further search will be conducted as soon as more information is available.
