Police find Heroin at scene of murder

Ifeayni Ayewoh (AKA Theophilus Azodo or Frank), 39, was killed on Thursday when three men forced their way into his Table View home, allegedly looking for money. (from IOL)

He was shot in the head. Nicole Freeman, and her four children were locked in a separate room.

Heroin worth R500 000 was found on the property, Western Cape police said.

Freeman's husband Baba said he thought the killing was a drug-related hit: "I think maybe he took that stuff from one of the Nigerians but didn't give them the money."

Freeman said the men all had guns and told her and her daughters not to look at their faces: "They said to Ifeanyi, 'Where is the money. Do you know somebody wants you dead?'"

When Ayewoh protested, said Freeman, one of the men said: "'We came to do our job, so you shut up.' Then they put the pillow against his head and they shot him."

Ayewoh's rental agent, Lorna Worth, confirmed the victim was her tenant but said she knew him as Theophilus Azodo, or Frank and that he was an asylum seeker.
