Police spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidu says parts of the house alleged to be a drug post, was ransacked, but it is not known if anything was taken.
She says initial investigations show that some of the victims were stabbed and shot while others were just shot. Naidu says neighbours heard gunshots between 1am and 2am on Saturday morning at the house in Ramba Street. “The bodies of four people, one female and three males, were found lying in the lounge. Another female was found in the kitchen and one in the bedroom. The female in the bedroom had a child three years old with her. The child was unhurt. All the deceased are aged between 25-35 years old.”
“The police are appealing to everyone on all levels of society to stand together with the police to stop these ruthless criminals who threaten the stability and peace within our communities. The 72-hour activation team will be working around the clock to gather information and evidence to identify those responsible for committing such heinous murders,” adds Naidu.
Mess murder is becoming common thing in this country, criminal syndicates are having a field day especially in the Western Cape and KZN township, now this trend is moving to Eastern Cape. Soon it will become common in Gauteng SAPoliceService
