THE Hawks in Pietermaritzburg arrested a 39-year-old woman on Wednesday, 15 September for conspiracy to commit murder.
According to Captain Simphiwe Mhlongo, the cops received information about a wife who allegedly hired a hitman to kill her husband in the Estcourt area.
“It’s alleged that the couple was in the process of filing divorce papers when she decided to kill him.
“In November 2020, the wife allegedly bought a car and handed it over to the hired hitman as payment,” Mhlongo said.
