KZN police have confirmed that the person arrested on suspicion of murdering a Tongaat woman is her 13-year-old granddaughter.
The 63-year-old Fairbreeze resident was found bludgeoned to death in her home on Monday.
The woman's grandchild told police at the time that she was hanging clothes on the line outside when she heard her grandmother's screams.
The girl said she ran inside the house to find a man, armed with a hammer, attacking her granny.
She claimed she tried to intervene but the man pushed her out of the house and locked the door.
The police's Thembeka Mbele says detectives found that the girl's statement did not add up and she reportedly confessed to her mother.
She says the child will appear in court soon and is currently in custody.
