“It is alleged that two women, aged 32 and 39, were allegedly shot and killed by unknown suspects at Amatikwe in Inanda. The motive for the killings is yet to be established.”
In a report, it is alleged that the victims were found near the Amatikwe sports ground.
The 39-year-old victim was apparently shot in the head and died on scene, while the 32-year-old died on arrival at a nearby clinic.
