Police have captured a man who is believed to have fatally wounded another man in Gugulethu yesterday morning.

Two armed men shot and killed a man in NY 99 in Gugulethu, and then escaped in a white vehicle. Members of the community who witnessed the incident alerted police on patrol. Police then gave chase until the NY52 where the suspect stopped the vehicle and jumped out.
