Gwala said the perpetrators allegedly suffocated Ngongoma with clothing, demanding money, after which they fled the scene.
The deceased’s daughter, who witnessed the incident, immediately alerted neighbours. The lifeless body of the victim was found partially burnt on the upper body.
“A case of murder was opened at the Highflats [police station] for further investigation. The search is still ongoing regarding the remaining suspect.”
