Elderly Bay man and woman gunned down in their home

File


Police in Gqeberha are investigating a double murder after four men stormed into a house in Soweto-on-Sea on Tuesday evening and opened fire on three people inside.

Captain Andre' Beetge said the shooting occurred in Mbulelo Street at around 6.30 in the evening.

He said a 67-year-old woman died of gunshot wounds to the head and body, while a 74-year-old man died later in hospital after being shot in the head.

A 21-year-old woman was wounded in the foot and rushed to a hospital for treatment.

Beetge said the assailants fled the scene after the shooting and remain at large.

SAPS Kwazakhele are investigating two counts of murder and one of attempted murder.

This follows just 48 hours after two people were gunned down in their informal home in Kariega on Monday.

Police are appealing to anyone who could assist with information to contact Detective John Lourens at 071 352 4706 or alternatively Crime Stop at 08600 10111.
