Four people, including a woman and a teenage girl, were shot dead at a house in Sibongile, Dundee,  last night, Friday, May 23.

Initial reports suggest the victims were attacked at about 8pm.

KZN SAPS spokesperson, Colonel Robert Netshiunda, said it was reported that two men, aged 31 and 35, were outside the house when an unspecified number of gunmen arrived and opened fire on them, killing them instantly.

The gunmen then entered the house where there were three people and demanded money and drugs from a 29-year-old woman.

A scuffle ensued between one of the men and the woman during which she was shot multiple times. The men searched and took an undisclosed amount of money. A 14-year-old girl who was in the house was also shot several times and died on the scene.

Two others, a man and a woman, who were in the house reported managed to leave the room upon hearing the first gunshots and survived the shooting unscathed.

“The motive of the killings is suspected to be robbery; however, a drug-related feud cannot be ruled out. Police are appealing to anyone who might have information regarding the incident and the suspects’ whereabouts to contact the nearest police station or call the crime stop number 08600 10111.”

To date, there have been no arrests.
