🚨 THREE MEN SHOT AT NDUNAYITHINI; POLICE HUNT FOR SUSPECT 🚨
The Royal Eswatini Police Service is investigating an attempted murder case after three men were shot and injured at Ndunayithini on Saturday evening, 7 June 2026.
Preliminary reports indicate that four men were travelling home in a sedan after a drinking session when they stopped along the road. An unknown man allegedly emerged from nearby bushes and requested a lift to Ematjeni. An argument reportedly broke out after the occupants questioned how he would fit into the already full vehicle.
During the altercation, the suspect allegedly produced a firearm and shot three of the men before fleeing the scene. The fourth occupant escaped unharmed and alerted Hluthi Police.
The injured victims were rushed to a health facility and later transferred to another hospital, where they remain admitted and are receiving treatment.
Police recovered three spent cartridges from the scene, which will undergo ballistic analysis. Three counts of attempted murder have been opened, and the Serious Crimes Unit (Lukhozi) has joined the investigation.
The suspect is described as a short, medium-built man who was last seen wearing a black jacket.
Anyone with information that may assist police investigations is urged to contact the nearest police station or call the toll-free police number 999. All information will be treated with strict confidentiality.
