The bodies of 35-year-old Neli Mkhwanazi and 37-year-old Zanele Mbuyazi were found at the Eshobeni Reserve in Kwabonambi, in northern KZN.


Detectives say their investigations have revealed the women were travelling in a bakkie and were shot after being dropped off.


They traced a suspect to a local clinic over the weekend - where he was found stab wounds. It's not yet clear how he sustained them.


The motive for the shootings is also not known at this stage.
