The efforts of the South African Police Service (SAPS) to combat serious and violent crime in the Province led to the arrest of three male suspects, aged between 21 and 34 this morning. The arrests follow a fatal shooting incident in which three men lost their lives and a fourth was seriously injured.
According to our preliminary crime report, armed assailants opened fire on four victims at an establishment in Fransina Street, Wallacedene, at approximately 22:00 last night, in what is believed to be a gang-related attack.
Two victims, aged 17 and 20, were declared dead at the scene. The remaining two were transported to hospital, where the third victim, aged 18, later succumbed to his injuries. The fourth victim remains in hospital receiving treatment.
Kraaifontein police acted swiftly, following up on all available leads, which resulted in the arrest of the three suspects earlier this morning. Once formally charged, the suspects are expected to appear in the Blue Downs Magistrates’ Court on charges of murder.
