Triple murder being investigated in East London


East London police are investigating a triple murder case after 3 men were shot inside their vehicle in Ziphunzana's C Section at about 5pm on Saturday.

Police Spokesperson Colonel Mtati Tana, says that according to eye witnesses,  4 gunmen fired shots at the maroon Opel Kadet.
The driver then lost control and crashed into a school fence.

Tana said all occupants died on the scene and the motive of the murder is still unknown.

The victims are all in their twenties.

A firearm was discovered on the scene.

According to Community members, two of the deceased are brothers to the late Ludwe Zembe, who was shot and killed by unknown men outside the Buccaneers pub at the East London Beachfront in April.

They were also state witnesses for their brother's murder case and one of them has a murder charge against him for allegedly stabbing a teenage boy to death in 2013.

A week ago, 5 people were murdered in a similar way in Buffalo Flats and Fynbos. 

Tana added that no one has been arrested at this stage and urged anyone with information to contact the Duncan Village police station.
