A conspiracy to commit murder unfolded on the outskirts of Cape Town today. Fortunately, swift action by seasoned detectives prevented the assassination of the would-be victim and his 44 year old wife was arrested.
Following information received of allegations of a conspiracy to commit murder, a joint investigation was conducted by the Provincial Detective Unit and the Manenberg Serious and Violent Crimes Investigation Unit.
The investigation culminated this morning, Tuesday 18 October, at approximately 10:10 when a sting operation was conducted in the parking area of the Lansdowne Railway Station, where a woman handed over an undisclosed amount of cash to would-be hitmen to have her husband assassinated.
The 44 year old Kenilworth woman was arrested shortly thereafter and is to appear in the Wynberg Magistrates’ Court on Thursday on a charge of conspiracy to commit murder.
