Cape Town - The police are looking for a woman who is believed to have masterminded the murder of her husband, a Samora Machel police officer.
Constable Mneli Jobela was found shot in the back of his head, inside his vehicle, in Oliver Tambo Drive, Samora Machel, early in October.
His wife, Qaqanba Qayisa, is being sought by police for Jobela's murder.
It's believed she hired two men to shoot him. The police would not confirm this, but of the three suspects sought for the murder, two of them have been arrested.
