Cop killers shot dead
Last month, two suspects wanted for the murder of a police officer, attempted murder, and a string of house and armed robberies in KZN were shot dead.
The duo were shot and fatally wounded when they started a gunfight with police in Inanda on Tuesday night, 12 August 2025.
Netshiunda said officers were following up on intelligence regarding the whereabouts of the wanted suspects when they located the suspects.
“The information led the police to a house in the Maplazini area in Inanda. When police arrived at the house, they introduced themselves as police officers and instructed the suspects to open the door.”
