Western Cape police say they have taken in a number of people for questioning in connection with the murders of two police officers in Kraaifontein outside Cape Town at the weekend.
Warrant officer Gurswin Matthee and Constable Cannon Cloete were gunned down after they responded to a complaint at the Wallacedene Informal Settlement.
Both were shot in the head and robbed of their service pistols.
Provincial Commissioner Arno Lamoer says no arrests have been made yet, but several people have been questioned.
Earlier, the Western Cape Community Police Forum has called on residents of the Kraaifontein area to come forward with information about the killing of the two police members.
The CPF’s Hanif Loonat says National Police Commissioner Bheki Cele must come up with an effective plan to stop the deaths.
Some 32 police members have been killed around the country so far this year.
Loonat says something must be done.
