Ulundi - A girl who was to testify as a rape victim was shot dead on Monday with her mother and a male visitor when gunmen burst into their northern KwaZulu-Natal home.
Ulundi police spokesperson Captain Vusi Mbatha said on Tuesday the incident happened in the Onyango area, near Mhlabatini.
The 15-year-old was to have given evidence in court on Friday.
Mbatha said the three died on the spot on Monday evening. No arrests have been made.
"It is suspected that the motive was to destroy evidence although there is nothing to confirm that," said Mbatha.
No further details were available.
