Port Elizabeth police are investigating a case of murder and attempted murder after a 23-year-old man was shot dead in Arcadia on Wednesday morning and his companion wounded in the chest.
Police spokesperson, Colonel Priscilla Naidu, said the body of Ashwin Gosh was found in a pathway between Imbuia and Oosthuizen Streets at around 6 AM after he was last seen three hours earlier.
