Southlands Sun reports that police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda says the police were acting on information received about the whereabouts of the wanted suspects.A high-speed chase ensued, with the police catching up to the suspects. “The suspects fired shots towards the police, and the police retaliated to protect themselves and other road users. During the shoot-out, four suspects were shot and killed. No police officer sustained any injuries during the shoot-out,” says Netshiunda.“The suspects were wanted for at least three cases of murder in Inanda, two of which were double murders. The murders were committed in March and April this year,” says Netshiunda.
