POLICE are on the hunt for three men who shot and injured a 34-year-old businesswoman and her reputed husband, a 47-year-old minibus driver, at their ‘B’ Field, Sophia home, on Thursday night.

According to a police press release, the businesswoman lives at the aforementioned address with her spouse and their two children. She operates a grocery shop at the front of the residence.

The woman’s husband claimed that at approximately 21:20 hours, his wife was sitting and conversing with her friend in front of her store when he observed an unknown black tinted motorcar, model and registration number unknown, drive up from the northern direction, on B Field, and stop in front of the shop. At the time he was sitting in the shop.

“The three suspects exited the car, all armed with handguns and faces covered with masks. The suspects approached his wife and discharged several rounds at him and his wife” the press release stated.
