Two people have been arrested and charged with the murder of a heavily pregnant woman in KwaZulu-Natal's Midlands.

In July the charred remains of mother of two Hlengiwe Ndaba were found in a burnt bakkie in the Winterton area, in the KZN Midlands.

“The body was burnt beyond recognition and the vehicle had bullet holes. The post-mortem revealed that the recovered remains was of a woman who was eight months pregnant,” said SAPS spokesperson Capt Nqobile Gwala. On Tuesday police made a breakthrough when they arrested, and charged, a 37-year-old woman who was a teacher at the same school as Ndaba.

“She appeared before the Weenen magistrate’s court on September 4 2020. She was remanded in custody until September 10 2020,” said Gwala. A second suspect, a 45-year-old man, was arrested on Thursday and is expected to appear in court on Monday.
