A man was shot and killed while visiting a friend in Magwaveni – KZN during the early parts of this morning (Friday).
The Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) Tongaat Operations Centre received a call from a resident at approximately 02:57 reporting the shooting. On arrival, Reaction Officers discovered the lifeless body of a man lying on the floor. He sustained a single gunshot wound to his head.
It was established that the deceased was visiting a female friend when suspects broke the door and entered the house. The female informed Reaction Officers that she could not confirm how many men entered her home due to her vision being impaired by a torch utilised by the gunmen. They allegedly shot the man for no apparent reason before they fled. He was still in possession of his valuables.
A case of murder is being investigated.
