Police in KwaZulu-Natal have launched a massive manhunt for the suspects who shot and killed four people at the Uganda informal settlement in Umlazi on Thursday night, 28 March 2024.
It is alleged that a group of friends were drinking alcohol inside a shack when at least six suspects stormed in and demanded cellphones. The victims reportedly refused to hand over their cellphones and one of the suspects drew a firearm and shot three people. As they were leaving the crime scene, the suspects allegedly met another man who was walking to the shack from a pit latrine and they shot him dead after he also reportedly refused to surrender his cellphone. All victims were declared deceased at the scene. The suspects are unknown at this stage and the motive of the killings is yet to be established, although robbery could not be ruled out.
Police are appealing to anyone who might have information regarding the whereabouts of the suspects to tip-off the nearest police station or contact the Crime Stop number 08600 10111.
