Four suspects killed in police shootout on M4
Four murder suspects have been killed in a shootout with police on the M4 southern freeway, in Umlazi.
Durban police tracked them down at a local mall on Tuesday night, after they received a tip-off about the gang's whereabouts.
SAPS spokesperson Robert Netshiunda says the group sped off, leading to a chase.
"The suspects fired shots towards the police and to protect themselves and other road users, police returned fire. During the shootout, four suspects were shot and fatally wounded."
