Police Unveil Details of Tragic Inanda Shooting Incident
Based on the information currently available to the police, it appears that an unidentified group of suspects shot the man and woman before proceeding to a nearby residence. There, they confronted the female occupants and demanded the keys to a minibus taxi. Miraculously, the women were able to flee without injury, and the suspects obtained the spare key to the vehicle. Subsequently, it is believed that the same assailants proceeded further down the road to the cottages, where they shot the third victim and seized the original keys before making their getaway in the minibus taxi. The abandoned taxi was later discovered in the Ntuzuma area.
