He said the investigating officer told them the suspect had been denied bail and remanded in custody, but police said he was yet to appear in court.

Family spokesperson Tshepo Mokoena, Ndlovu’s uncle, told SowetanLIVE sister publication TimesLIVE on Wednesday that a report from the investigating officer differed from an official comment released by the police, which made them anxious.

“It's not that we are suspicious of anything; it's just that it won't be nice to reopen the wounds only for this person to walk. We are just praying that it is the right suspect and that they have followed the right protocols and channels for the person to be charged,” he said. Police confirmed on Wednesday that a 29-year-old man was arrested in Pinetown in connection with Ndlovu’s death. He was found in possession of Ndlovu’s phone and a knife.
