TimesLIVE reports that five people, including a police officer and a wanted suspect, were killed in a shootout outside Durban on Tuesday.
KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) police spokesperson Col Robert Netshiunda advised that national intervention unit member W/O Sthembiso Mazibuko was killed when suspects at a house in Ntuzuma C Section fired at police. “After the shootout, two men and two women in the house were found fatally wounded. Another police officer sustained gunshot wounds and was rushed to hospital,” Netshiunda reported. The suspects had robbed a store at Bhamshela in Nsuze and were spotted at Maphephetheni. One of the deceased suspects was on the police list of most wanted suspects in connection with at least 12 murders which he allegedly committed from September last year onwards in the Durban North areas. A firearm and suspected stolen cellphones and other gadgets were found in possession of the suspects. Two vehicles were seized. Four injured suspects, who are allegedly linked to business robberies in Durban North, are under police guard in hospital.
