Three KwaZulu-Natal men have been arrested for murder after the charred remains of a 15-year-old girl were discovered in northern KwaZulu-Natal. The pair are alleged to have argued before Luphondwe’s murder. “The family members opened a missing person docket at Glencoe SAPS after the girl did not return home. The investigation was conducted by Glencoe SAPS, and it led the police to Matiwaneskop in Ladysmith, where the deceased’s boyfriend, 23, was arrested,” said police spokesperson Col Thembeka Mbele.KwaZulu-Natal provincial police commissioner Lt-Gen Khombinkosi Jula appealed to community members to let the police do their work.

“The swift response of the integrated team is highly commended. We are appealing to community members to allow the police to conduct their investigation freely, and not to take the matter into their own hands,” said Jula.
