A RUTHLESS pair of gunmen shot and killed an Empangeni meter taxi driver on Friday night in full view of his female companion.
Leaving his body on the pavement of Sigma Road, they made off with his taxi, taking the woman with them by force.
She was beaten and raped before being dropped off in the bushes along the P230. The vehicle was later found gutted in Macekane.
So far police have very little leads in the cas, as the identity of the killers and their motive remains shrouded in mystery.
According to Empangeni police spokesman, Captain Mbongeni Mdlalose, three separate cases have been opened.
‘I can confirm at this stage that a charge each of kidnapping, rape and murder are being investigated,’ he said.
