The mid-South Coast community has been left shaken after two women were shot dead in Umzinto yesterday (March 30).
Reports indicate that a man shot and killed his girlfriend and her sister after a domestic dispute at a location (yet to be confirmed by Saps) in the Umzinto area.
Another woman believed to be their neighbour heard the gunshots and ran over to assist.
When she confronted the man, she was shot at but was able to flee the scene and received medical attention.
The man then turned the firearm on himself.
