A disgruntled fired employee and a suspected hitman have been arrested on various charges, including two counts of murder, attempted murder, intimidation, intentional damage to property and arson.
It is alleged that an employee of a Pietermaritzburg company came to work drunk and was fired after an internal disciplinary hearing last year.
After his dismissal, those who were part of the audience, including witnesses, were attacked.
“A 44-year-old security guard and his 24-year-old son were shot dead in their home … in January 2020. A 40-year-old security guard was shot and wounded in Imbali in January 2019.
“The presiding officer had his vehicle and home set on fire in Sweetwaters and also received death threats in July 2019,” said police spokesman Colonel Thembeka Mbele.
Mbele said these cases were assigned to the Provincial Organized Crime Investigation Unit whose members arrested the two men, aged 38 and 43, on Thursday.
The men will appear in Pietermaritzburg magistrates court on Monday.
Mbele said the investigation is ongoing and that further arrests cannot be ruled out.
