CCTV footage showing the fatal shooting of three female managers at a Boxer supermarket in Eshowe, KwaZulu-Natal, has emerged as police search for a former employee accused of killing the women inside the store’s office.
The shooting took place on Saturday, 10 October, when the suspect allegedly opened fire during an internal disciplinary hearing at the supermarket. KwaZulu-Natal police said the man, a former staff member, produced a firearm and shot three people in the room.
The suspect reportedly worked in the store’s bakery. The three victims were identified in reports as the bakery manager, store manager and administration manager. They were allegedly among the management staff involved in the disciplinary process against the former employee.
CCTV footage reportedly shows a man firing multiple shots at the three women inside an office before leaving the room. Police said all three victims were declared dead at the scene.
Police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda confirmed that the suspect fled immediately after the shooting and had not been arrested at the time of the announcement.
