CAPE TOWN - Two suspects, who are accused of a triple murder perpetrated during the early hours of Monday morning, 15 January 2024, are expected to make their court appearance in Blue Downs today following their arrest earlier this week.

In addition to the three murder charges, one of the suspects, aged 31, has also been charged for the possession of a prohibited firearm and ammunition after he was apprehended by members of the Metro Police in Mfuleni shortly after the murders were committed in Government Street, Bardale which left three men with fatal gunshot wounds.

Further investigation led Anti-Gang Unit detectives to an address in Delft where the second suspect, aged 27, was arrested. Bail for the two suspects who are from Khayelitsha and Nyanga respectively will be opposed by police.
