Police in Motherwell are looking for Yanga Ntsiko, 28 years old after the abduction, rape and assault of a 20-year-old woman in Ngwevana Street, NU9, Motherwell. The incident took place on Saturday 25 November 2017 at 20:00. It is alleged that the suspect, driving a silver VW Polo took the 20-year-old woman to his home in Ncuncu Street, NU8 where she was locked up against her will, assaulted and raped, before being let go again by the suspect.
The suspect is also believed to be on the run from police after a murder and attempted murder took place the next morning, 26 November 2017 at 05:00, in Ngwevana Street, NU9. This follows after two suspects knocked at the door of the home of 51 year old Luyanda Patric Mncayise. When he opened the door the armed suspects said they were looking for his son. When he told them he was not home and turned to close the door, he was shot and killed in cold blood in the back. When a next door neighbour, the 66-year-old Nosinda Suthu came out to see what was happening, she was also shot and injured in her stomach. The suspects then fled in their silver VW Polo.
