Emer-G-Med paramedics reported that they responded to a shooting incident on the M13 highway in the vicinity of the Paradise Valley just after the Stapleton Road bridge.
“Two men alleged to be suspects, were found to have sustained fatal gunshot wounds and were declared dead on arrival of paramedics,” they said.
The incident comes after six suspects were killed while two others were critically injured during a shootout with the police on Wednesday on the N2 near the King Shaka airport.
The suspects were caught in a high speed chase in two gateway vehicles. Paul Herbst of Medi Response Paramedics said the suspects had allegedly been involved in an armed robbery in Empangeni.
