One person linked to Estcourt mass shooting arrested

DURBAN - One person linked to a mass shooting in KwaZulu-Natal has been arrested.

The suspect was part of a group that allegedly shot four people in Estcourt on Sunday night.

"Swift intelligence-driven investigations by Amangwe police detectives led them to a hospital where a 28-year-old suspect was arrested," said police spokesperson Robert Netshiunda.

"The suspect had sustained a gunshot wound to the chest and a broken arm from the crime scene and was taken to hospital by his accomplices."

They are investigating the motive for the attack.

"The motive of the killings remains a matter of police investigations. However, there is a suspicion that the incident could be stock theft related because the deceased persons were members of the Community Anti-Stock Theft Group."
