Police in KwaZulu-Natal have launched a manhunt for two suspects who escaped the gun battle in Mariannhill west of Durban this morning.
Nine suspects were shot and fatally wounded. The suspects were also on the police’s radar for serious and violent crimes in the area. “When we caught wind of where they were, we operated in the early hours of today and when we arrived in Mariannhill, Desai, we mistakenly knocked at the wrong house and the next thing we heard gunshots coming from the opposite house. That’s where our police had to take cover and find a way to return fire and a gun fight ensued. After that, that’s when nine suspects were shot and fatally wounded.
