KWAZULU-NATAL - KwaZulu-Natal police have killed a paroled murderer in a gun battle on the north coast of the province.
The suspect was found near Mtunzini.
Police had been hunting for him in connection with at least 10 cash-in-transit robberies and a plot to kill an officer.
Police say the 32-year-old was found with what is suspected to be an SAPS-issued R-5 rifle.
The weapon was allegedly used to fire at officers as he tried to dodge his re-arrest.
The suspect was sentenced to 15 years in jail for murder in 2014.
