Fatal home invasion in Richards Bay

A neighbour who responded to cries for help was also killed during the ordeal

THREE people were reportedly shot to death during a burglary in Arboretum last night (Monday).

The incident took place shortly after midnight when local CPF (Community Policing Forum) structures were alerted, as were SAPS.

It is believed the three armed suspects, wearing black clothes and balaclavas, gained forceful entry to the property and two occupants were killed when a fight ensued.
