Durban – Family and friends are baffled and have unanswered questions about why two brothers were killed at their business premises in Shallcross on Tuesday afternoon.
Magendhren and Krean Naidu were reportedly shot by two gunmen at their granite business on Himalaya Drive in Shallcross.
Krean died at the scene, while Magendhren died that night in hospital.
Marlin Padayachee, a close friend of the family, said the question everyone has is why.
“This is such a traumatic incident for the family. It is disconcerting. I studied with Krean and became good friends with the family.
“They were both very jovial and very good,” Padayachee said.
He said the brothers lost their younger brother in an accident about three years ago.
Another friend, who did not want to be named, described the brothers as decent, humble and hardworking.
“They were jovial and never got into fights. They lived with their elderly mother.
“Magen was a very helpful person who would help anyone. His murder has shocked everyone. Why would anyone want to kill them?
“It appears that the armed men entered their business and shot them without saying anything. I saw them every day and spoke to them that same day. They never mentioned that anyone threatened them, ”said the friend.
Police spokesman Capt. Nqobile Gwala said police responded to a report of a shooting and found two men with gunshot wounds to the head.
“A 39-year-old victim was pronounced dead at the scene and the second victim, 44, was taken to hospital for medical attention where he later died.
“It is alleged that the two victims were attacked by two unknown suspects who opened fire, wounding them in the head.
“The suspects fled the scene in their getaway vehicle.
“There is a vehicle that was found abandoned on the N2 motorway but it cannot be confirmed whether it was the suspect’s vehicle or not, pending a police investigation.
“Murder charges were opened at the Chatsworth Police Station for investigation,” Gwala said.
