Two men are due to appear in the Khayelitsha Magistrate’s Court soon on the charges of murder.

The pair was arrested yesterday in Khayelitsha and Gugulethu respectively, after police received a tip-off from the community.

Lingelethu spokesperson Inspector Siphokazi Mawisa says the information led them to 19 Block, Makhaya in Khayelitsha and arrested the first suspect.

He was arrested for two murders which occurred last month at A and E Sections.

Mawisa went on saying, on their further investigation they also arrested another suspect in Gugulethu who was wanted for the same murder that occurred at E Section.

“We also confiscated an illegal 9mm firearm, which may have been linked to the two murders at the first suspect’s home, said Mawisa.

Both suspects are age 21.
