Johannesburg - Four men were killed and a woman allegedly raped in two separate but seemingly related incidents in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal police said on Sunday.
The two incidents occurred on Saturday morning.
Police spokesperson Henry Budhram said two men were hijacked in Georgetown by two armed men in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The men were shot and killed and the hijackers drove away in a maroon VW Polo.
Shortly after the shooting, a woman and two other men from the Imbali township were forced into a maroon VW Polo.
He said after a short distance the men were forced out of the car and shot.
"We believe this is related to the Georgetown incident," Budhram said.
He said the men drove away with the woman and she was later found near the Azalea cemetery in Imbali.
"The woman said she had been raped by both suspects who later abandoned her," Budhram said.
The VW Polo was found abandoned in the city and one of the hijackers was arrested in Edendale.
