Cape Town – KwaZulu-Natal continues to see a rise in murders, with three of its police stations sitting in the top five stations nationally.<\/p>\n
Major-General Norman Sekhukhune, head of crime research in the police, on Friday named the top 30 police stations investigating murder cases in the country.<\/p>\n
He said Inanda had recorded more murders than any other station in the country between October and December.<\/p>\n
Eighty-six people were murdered in Inanda during this period.<\/p>\n
It was followed by Delft in the Western Cape, where 81 people were killed.<\/p>\n
