Five people have been shot dead in a house in Amaoti near Inanda north of Durban.
Police say the incident happened last night.
The incident comes a few days after seven people believed to be drug addicts, were shot dead in KwaMashu north of Durban.
Police spokesperson Brigadier Jay Naicker says they are not ruling out the possibility that the latest shooting might be drug-related.
“The deceased were found in the house with multiple gunshot wounds. It was established that all five deceased who are in their twenties, were in the house when they were shot by unknown suspects who arrived in a getaway vehicle.”
“A sixth victim who was shot in the hand, was taken to hospital for medical attention. From information gathered at the scene of the shooting incident, we cannot rule out the possibility that the motive is drug-related,” adds Naicker.
