The main suspect behind journalist Olorato Mongale's death wanted to kill himself before police shot him. Philangenkosi Makhanya died during a gun battle at Mason Arbor Town complex near Durban on Friday morning. A tenant who rented cars said Makhanya visited him twice asking for help. The suspect cried and talked about ending his life during their last meeting. He regretted ignoring his mother's warnings about crime.

Mongale left her Johannesburg apartment on Sunday for a date with someone named John. Police found her body near Alexandra township later that week. Officers discovered the white Polo used to pick her up at a repair shop. They arrested the car's elderly owner and identified three suspects connected to the murder. Makhanya and two other men became wanted for questioning.

The tenant refused to rent Makhanya another vehicle because police circulated his photograph everywhere. Makhanya begged for help and broke down during their three-hour conversation on Thursday night. He admitted his mother opposed his criminal activities but he never listened to her advice. The suspect claimed he wanted to steal money from Mongale rather than hurt her. He finally agreed to surrender to local police at sunrise.

Police found Makhanya carrying twenty-eight identity documents and twenty cell phones during the raid. The tenant said Makhanya confessed to the murder during their final talk. Officers continue searching for the two remaining suspects in this case.
