POLICE in the OR Tambo district have launched an extensive search for killers involved in the murder of two women in Zinkumbini, Libode, on Monday, May 25.
The women were shot dead at around 4pm.
The first victim was a security guard from a local school in the area. It was reported that she was on her way home from work when two unknown suspects approached her. One of the suspects opened fire towards her, but she managed to run to a nearby homestead where she found an elderly woman (65).
Apparently, the suspects shot them both and they succumbed to their injuries.
Police spokesperson Captain Welile Matyolo has appealed to anyone with information that could lead to the arrest of suspects to contact Libode Police Station’s Acting Detectives Head Warrant Officer Nuku at 083 665 3609, Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or notify police using the MySAPS App.
“All information will be treated with the strictest confidentiality,” Matyolo said.
Police acting district commissioner in the OR Tambo district Brigadier Vukile Ntuli has condemned the fatal shooting of the victims.
