‘’ Detectives attached to the Provincial Serious
and Violent Crimes unit are probing the circumstances that led to the death of
three people, following the discovery of the crime scene this morning [Tuesday]
at about 07:30 in Gushendoda in Delft South. The victims were shot and set
alight in what we believe is an act of vigilantism, after shots were heard
during the early hours of this morning. Two of the bodies are male and the
third one is believed to be a female, as identification is yet to be made. What
led to the multiple murder is yet to be determined and the suspects are yet to
be arrested,’’ said Colonel Andrè Traut, Western Cape police spokesperson.
‘’Vigilantism is condemned in the strongest possible terms
and offenders are regarded as ruthless criminals who can expect to be dealt
with in a court of law. Harbouring a criminal is also punishable by law,’’ he
added.
Anyone with information regarding the incident are urged to
