Durban paramedics confirmed that two security guards were murdered during a business robbery on Wednesday (3 November).
According to Emer-G-Med, the emergency medical personnel rushed to the crime scene to find two victims (between the ages of 40 and 50) with one dead at the scene from gunshot wounds while the other was succumbing to his injuries.
“One man was found to have sustained fatal wounds and there was nothing paramedics could do to assist him. He was declared dead on arrival,” Emer-G-Med’s Kyle van Reenen said.
The second victim, who was in a critical condition, succumbed to his injuries and passed away while paramedics attempted to stabilize him.
It is understood that the alleged killers arrived at the scene to find the two security guards on duty at the business premises before launching an attack with gunfire, it is not clear if the robbery was successful or not.
“Reports from the scene allege the men were working as security officers at the business when they were confronted by armed suspects during a business robbery. A shoot-out ensued, resulting in the tragedy,” said Van Reenen.
“The South African Police Services were in attendance and will be conducting the necessary investigations accordingly,” he added.
