Four armed men entered the premises of a business in Mayville on Tuesday and held the staff hostage. 

 

They robbed the security guards of their guns and took cash.

 

One guard was shot and killed. A second was injured.

 

The robbers fled the scene in a getaway car.

 

KwaZulu-Natal police say a false hijacking case opened at the Lamontville Police Station led to the arrest of one 34-year-old suspect.

 

The second alleged robber was found in hospital, where he was admitted with a gunshot wound.

 

The 27-year-old was apparently shot by one of the security guards during the robbery.

 

He remains in hospital under police guard and will appear in court once discharged.
