West gang leader and his friend allegedly terrorise residents until they’re fed up.
And as if terrorising residents wasn’t enough, they also allegedly killed two women whom they believed were selling them out to the cops.

The women were caught on Saturday, 23 May, beaten and tortured until they took their last breath. Their bodies were found dumped near the road in Inanda.
But the two west gang members’ time was also running out. They died in a shoot-out with cops on the very same day they brutally killed the two women.
It’s alleged that the gang members were found by cops in Inanda, KZN.
When officers knocked on the door, the suspects allegedly opened fire when they realised it was the police on the other side of the door. There was a shoot-out which resulted in the men’s deaths.
Residents in Inanda were pleased following the gang members’ deaths. A resident said they’ll finally find peace for a few days.
“Our peace will be very short because now the other members will come out in numbers to torture us as their leader has been killed.
“We live in a very difficult time in our area. But maybe one day God will remember us,” he said.
Another resident, Ntando Mkhize said Inanda is a beautiful area, but its beauty has been deterred by the crimes.
KZN police spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Paul Magwaza said two suspects were fatally wounded in Inanda when they exchanged gunfire with the police on Saturday, 23 May.
“Police were following up on information regarding wanted murder suspects. They identified a room where the suspects were hiding. Police knocked on the door, but there was no answer.
“When they opened the door, the suspects fired shots directed at the police. An exchange of gunfire ensued which subsequently led to two suspects being fatally wounded,” he said.

Magwaza also confirmed that the police in Ntuzuma registered a docket with two counts of murder after the discovery of two female bodies in the Mzomusha area of Ntuzuma on Saturday.
“The victims had bruises on their bodies. Police investigations are still ongoing in trying to uncover the motive behind the women’s killing,” he added.
