FIVE WOMEN SHOT IN DURBAN NORTH
South African Police Service (SAPS) spokesperson in KwaZulu-Natal, Colonel Robert Netshiunda, said four foreign women of Asian origin were reportedly sitting in one room of their rented house when a male companion, also of Asian origin, arrived, and the women allegedly asked him to give them a lift to the nearby shopping centre.
Netshiunda said when the women and their male friend were getting inside the vehicle, another man, also of the same nationality as the rest of them, emerged from inside the house and fired shots.
“One woman sustained fatal gunshot wounds and was declared dead at the scene, whereas their other women were rushed to hospital in critical condition. The male companion escaped unharmed.
“Investigations are underway to establish the motive of the shooting as well as the relations between the suspect and the victims,” he explained.
