Cape Town – Three adults and a pitbull were found dead in a home in Greenwood Park, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal.
The victims, aged 27, 30, and 37, were discovered by emergency teams after requests for medical assistance, police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda said.
“A dog was also found dead at the scene,” said Netshiunda.
The use of a generator, due to cable theft causing a power outage in the area, was reported.
KZN VIP Protection Services said they were alerted to the incident when they received calls for medical assistance.
“Upon arrival by emergency teams, it was established that the family of the victims were unable to make contact and thereafter went to the home and made the discovery,” said Naidoo.
“Reports from the scene indicate that a generator was being used in the home, which due to cable theft in the area, have left residents without power for days.”
KZN police are investigating the incident as three counts of inquest, and a post-mortem will be conducted to determine the cause of death.
