A manhunt has been launched for suspects who managed to evade arrest.
Three suspects in KwaZulu-Natal were killed during a shootout with police in Kranskop on Saturday.
The suspects were wanted for various violent crimes.
The provincial police spokesperson, Colonel Robert Netshiunda, said police acted on intelligence in uncovering the whereabouts of the suspects.
“When police approached a residence in the Mambulu area, a shootout ensued between police and an unknown number of suspects. Three suspects were shot and fatally wounded during the shootout, and they were found in possession of firearms,” Netshiunda said.
