Two suspects held in connection with the shooting at a tavern in Sweetwaters, Pietermaritzburg, on Saturday night, in which four people died, have been released.
Two men are alleged to have entered Sakhi’s tavern and opened fire on patrons, hitting at least 12 people. Two died at the scene and two died later.
A police source close to the investigation, who spoke to reports on Wednesday, said charges were withdrawn as there was not enough evidence to warrant them being kept in custody.
