Kinana said the unknown suspects fled the scene on foot.

Kinana said Police established a task team to investigate the incident and subsequently, two suspects aged between 18 and 26 were arrested.

“Both suspects are facing charges of murder and will appear in the Bellville Court on Monday the 3rd November 2014 Kinana added.
