A KwaZulu-Natal woman and her uncle have been arrested for murder, after a Nseleni man was killed in his home in March.

A case of murder was opened at the Empangeni police station for investigation, says police spokesperson Colonel Thembeka Mbele.

Police recovered the deceased's laptop in possession of one of the two they arrested, Mbele adds.

Both the man and the woman are in custody at Empangeni police station.

"They will be charged for murder and will appear at the Empangeni Magistrate's Court on 15 June," Mbele said.
