Durban – A Durban resident is in custody after firing a warning shot which killed an intruder after it ricocheted off a kitchen wall in his Manor Gardens home on Sunday.

Dennis Webster, who says his rented home has been broken into 15 times by intruders because there is no alarm system, woke early to let his dog out. While he was in the bathroom he heard a noise in the kitchen.

“I finished what I had to do and went towards the kitchen. I noticed a guy running through the room towards the inside of the house.”
