SAPS investigate two Glebelands Hostel murder cases
Police are investigating two more murder cases and one attempted murder at the notorious Glebelands Hostel in Umlazi, south of Durban.
One of the victims is understood to be a resident of Block 50. He was shot in his room on Friday. The second victim, a security guard, was parked at Block O when he was gunned down on Thursday.
His colleague was also injured.
This follows the shooting of a 26-year-old resident of Block 48 at a tavern not far from the housing complex a week ago.
