A man shot and killed a reverend and wounded his ex-girl friend before turning the gun on himself in Pokela Road, Ocean View on Monday.

The police’s investigation revealed that when he returned, he took out a firearm and opened fire at the group.

Reverend Zanikele Mokson, 65, from Masiphumelele was hit in the head and died on the scene.

Police spokesperson Inspector Bernadine Steyn said the suspect’s ex-girlfriend was hit in the neck, shoulder and back. She was taken to a nearby hospital where she is in a stable but serious condition.

Steyn said the suspect, Mvusi Dondollo, turned the gun on himself and subsequently died of the bullet wound to the mouth. The firearm was confiscated at the scene and it is not registered under anyone’s name.

The motive is still unknown and police are investigating. A case of murder and an inquest investigation has been opened.
