Siblings killed in Mthatha attack


A brother and sister have been killed when gunmen attacked a house in Mthatha.

Police spokesperson, Lieutenant-Colonel Mzukisi Fatyela, says three gunmen, armed with a rifle and hand-guns, opened fire on a family in their home in Waterfall Park after 8pm Sunday night.

He said a 25-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman were killed while their 51-year-old mother was shot in the lower body.

Fatyela said she's in critical condition in hospital.

A three-year-old child sustained a minor injury while three other people in the house were unhurt.

Fatyela says the motive for the brutal attack is still under investigation but police are following up “leads”.

No names have been released as yet.
