At 11:00 today a shooting at Mthwalume claimed the lives of three motorists who were killed execution-style.
It is believed that the driver and his two passengers had just left the local Court and were about to enter the main road when they were cornered by the suspects who were travelling in two vehicles.
The suspects opened fire on the vehicle killing all three occupants instantly, before fleeing the scene. It is believed that the deceased were also robbed of their firearms.
The motive for the attack remains unclear at this time and detectives at Hibberdene are probing the triple murder.
