A shooting incident at two separate residences in an informal settlement in Buffelsdraai, KZN, resulted in the deaths of two men and the injury of a woman.
Medics from Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) were dispatched to the location at 00:19 this morning (Sunday, 19/06/2022) after villagers discovered the deaths of both males in their makeshift dwellings. The body of a man in his forties was discovered in a pool of blood when we arrived at the first residence (images 1 & 4). He was shot four times in the head and body and died as a result of his injuries.
The second shooting happened about 50 meters distant at a house (picture 2). Two men allegedly forced their way into the house and opened fire on a couple who were sleeping. Both of the female’s hands were wounded by gunshots. Her boyfriend was shot in the head twice and on the back twice. He died as a result of his injuries. The Provincial Ambulance Service took the woman to the hospital.
The motive for the murders were not established.
