- KwaMakhutha SAPS and the eThekwini District Tracing Team are on site examining the scene, and no arrests have been reported as the probe continues.
- Some reports say the attackers set fire to a victim’s car before fleeing, but that detail has limited independent confirmation and is part of the ongoing inquiry.
