WESTERN CAPE - Detectives attached to the Provincial Serious and Violent Crime Unit are following up on leads related to a triple murder in Mfuleni. The victims, three men aged 21, 31, and 40, were found with gunshot wounds inside a shack in the Covid informal settlement.

Police were alerted to the scene at around 10:00 this morning. Preliminary investigations suggest the victims were shot the previous night. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots, but due to adverse weather conditions, no immediate action was taken at the time.

The motive for the killings is yet to be determined, and the suspects remain unknown. Police are appealing to the public to come forward with any information that may assist the investigation. Information can be shared anonymously via Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or the MySAPS mobile application.
