Two main suspects in the Highflats massacre, identified as the alleged mastermind and hitman, have been killed in a shootout with KZN police in Umlazi.
The suspects were located through an intelligence-driven operation led by the DPCI Provincial Tracking Team, the DPCI Anti-Gang Unit, and the Provincial Organised Crime Unit.
According to police, the suspects resisted arrest and allegedly opened fire on the officers.
A police van was struck, but fortunately, no officers were wounded.
