The deaths bring to 40 the number of suspects killed in shootouts with police since April this year

Police in KwaZulu-Natal have once again come under scrutiny for allegedly being heavy-handed in shootouts with alleged gang members. This comes after nine suspected gang members were shot dead by police in three separate incidents in four days in Durban and eMpangeni.Violence and policing researcher Mary de Haas says, “When you just shoot people dead you don’t know whether among them are innocent people.

You wouldn’t have so many armed criminals around. That’s why we have a Crime intelligence. They are supposed to pick up where the guns are, they are supposed to pre-empt this type of thing to prevent the shootouts.” Any cookies that may not be particularly necessary for the website to function and is used specifically to collect user personal data via analytics, ads, other embedded contents are termed as non-necessary cookies.
