Three foreign nationals were killed in two separate incidents over the weekend.
Despatch police are investigating a case of double murder after an Ethiopian man and a Malawian man were shot and killed in Khayamnandi last night. The men’s bodies were discovered inside New Bhongo’s Spaza Shop in Fort Calata Street.
Police spokesman Sergeant Majola Nkohli said the identities of the men could not be released yet as their families had not been notified of their deaths.
In an unrelated incident, a 26-year-old man died after being shot in the head during a failed business robbery in Kwanobuhle on Friday evening. The man, also a foreign national, allegedly tried to fight off three suspects who tried to rob his Emthiza Spaza shop in Mhlontlo Street. He was shot during the struggle and the robbers allegedly fled the scene without taking anything from the store.
According to Sergeant Nkohli, the suspects are still at large and no arrests have been made. ”We are urging anybody from the community with any information to contact Crimestop or their local police station,” he said.
