Western Cape police efforts paid off as they swiftly arrested three suspects on Friday morning, following the murders of three people in Kraaifontein on Thursday night.

‘’According to our preliminary crime report, armed assailants opened fire on four victims at an establishment in Fransina Street, Wallacedene, at approximately 22:00 last night, in what is believed to be a gang-related attack. Two victims, aged 17 and 20, were declared dead at the scene. The remaining two were transported to hospital, where the third victim, aged 18, later succumbed to his injuries. The fourth victim remains in hospital receiving treatment,’’ said Colonel Andrè Traut, Western Cape police spokesperson.
