Western Cape police are investigating two triple murders in one area over the past weekend.
Provincial police spokesperson, Brigadier Andre' Traut, says three men were shot dead in Roos Street in Heinz Park on Sunday by four gunmen.
He said a 17-year-old youth was among those gunned killed while the other victims were aged 34 and 41.
Meanwhile, Traut said two suspects were taken into custody in connection with another triple murder also in Heinz Park on Saturday.
He said the suspects aged 29 and 30 are being interrogated and once charged, they are expected to make a court appearance in Athlone for the murders of three men aged 29, 37 and 51 in Cornflower Street.
“The motives for the two triple murders a day apart in the same area are yet to be determined,” Traut said.
