On Monday Kwa-Zulu Natal cracked a kidnapping case, whereby a twenty six-year-old woman and her four month old baby were kidnapped from their beach front hotel room. 

Police later learnt that the kidnappers had contacted a church leader and demanded a ransom of R100, 000. 

During the weekend the search for the two was unsuccessful.

Kwa-Zulu Natal Police Spokesperson Jay Naicker said Police followed the vehicle and eventually stopped when they noticed that the woman was definitely alone.

Naicker added she claimed that she managed to give her kidnapper the slip at the bank.

“The women have been taken in for questioning and investigations are continuing.” Naicker said.
