Two suspected criminals killed in KZN police shooting – LNN

Two suspects wanted in connection with murder, attempted murder, house robbery and robbery with firearms were killed during a shootout with police in the Namibian region of Inanda, KZN yesterday morning.

KZN police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda says members of the SAPS homicide task team acted on intelligence about the suspects’ hideout.

The suspects fired at police, resulting in a self-defense gun battle, and two of the suspects were shot dead.

The two home robberies, one robbery with a firearm and the attempted murder were all committed in Inanda this month, while the murder was committed in June 2024, Netshiunda said.

He says a firearm with one round of ammunition was found in the suspects’ possession, which will undergo ballistics testing to see if it can be linked to other crimes.
