In a separate incident, after half a year, the body of Kenneth Price has been found. Price, who was in his 70s, went missing and his story made headlines. His body was recently found and his neighbour has been arrested and charged with his murder.

The South African Police Service (SAPS) in KwaZulu-Natal said Price had been reported missing on 6 December. His family contacted authorities after failing to get hold of him through various means.

Price resided in a house in Oliver Leese Road, Malvern in Durban. Spokesperson for the KZN SAPS Captain Nqobile Gwala said Price was reportedly last seen on 17 November last year.

On 12 May this year, Gwala revealed that SAPS were informed that a neighbour of Price was advertising motorbikes. SAPS made their way to the neighbour’s residence and searched before finding items that belonged to Price.

The neighbour then took SAPS members to Chatsworth and Savanah park where another two suspects were apprehended. Gwala says they were also allegedly in possession of Price’s belongings.
