Two people have reportedly killed each other over cattle dispute in Tonj South County, Warrap State.

The police identified the men as Magar Makuach, 39; and John Ater, 37.

During a quarrel related to cattle, Magar shot John in the thigh. John returned fire, shooting dead Mangar in the chest and killing him instantly.
