Durban - The former air force colonel and MK veteran who allegedly threw two hand grenades at a woman on Sunday, killing her, has been arrested.

He is facing murder, attempted murder and possession of explosives charges.

The suspect handed himself over to eManzimtoti police on Wednesday.

The victim was Lesego Mohoasa, 33, an air force clerk for the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) at the Bluff Military Base.

Her two sons, aged 7 and 8, were found by neighbours in the bedroom of the eManzimtoti home where the explosion happened in the early hours on Sunday.

They were hiding under a blanket.
