A 64-year-old KwaNobuhle man will appear in the Kariega Magistrates Court this morning, July 11, in connection with the murder of his 35-year-old son at the weekend.
According to police spokesperson, Col. Priscilla Naidu, it is alleged that on Saturday, July 9 just before 19:00, the man and his son had an argument.

He was taken to hospital by a resident but succumbed to his injuries.
“The suspect was arrested at the hospital while he was also receiving treatment. His second son (39) assaulted him with a brick after hearing of the shooting,” Naidu said.
