Four suspected extortionists killed in shoot-out with police

Four alleged extortionists died in a shoot-out with police on Dumisani Makhaye Drive outside KwaMashu, north of Durban, on Thursday.

Police cordoned off the scene at the intersection with the M25 as detectives gathered evidence around a red VW Polo. The bodies of three men were inside the car while a fourth lay on the road, metres away. 

This is a developing story.
