The suspects, aged 34 and 39, were sought for the killing of three people in Newlands last week.


The latest shootout comes a day after six suspects were also killed during a violent confrontation with police in Inanda.


KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Robert Netshiunda says the suspects were found in possession of two pistols, a shotgun and 94 rounds of ammunition. 


"A simultaneous operation at Eskebheni and Emaplazini in Inanda saw the police having to take cover from the suspects' gunfire. 


"Police returned fire, sparking a shootout. After the shootout at both crime scenes, two suspects were found to have sustained fatal gunshot wounds. The search for more suspects continues."
