Bodies of mother and son found after Durban shooting

Police have opened a murder case and inquest after a mother and son were found shot dead in their home in Hillary.

A case of murder and inquest has been opened at Bellair SAPS following the discovery of two bodies believed to be those of a mother and son in the Hillary area of Durban.

According to Highway Mail, Garrith Jamieson from ALS Paramedics says paramedics responded to calls of a shooting incident on Sarnia Road, before Stella Road in the Hillary area, last night.

“On arrival, paramedics found SAPS already in attendance and were shown into a house. Paramedics found two people believed to be a mother in her 60s and a male believed to be her son in his 30s who had sustained gunshot wounds to their heads.

“Paramedics assessed both of them, however, they showed no signs of life and both were declared deceased on the scene,” explains Jamieson.
