They will be incarcerated alongside Nongcebo Ntombela, who was also sentenced to life for the murder of her husband.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As reported by KZN Hawks spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Simphiwe Mhlongo, the Durban Serious Organised Crime Investigation team arrested an additional suspect related to Captain Ntombela&#8217;s murder on Friday, 17 November 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCaptain Ntombela was shot and killed as he arrived home in Umlazi on 3 May 2023.
