Two PE men shot and killed in city's northern areas


Port Elizabeth police are searching for unknown suspects, after two men, including a teenager, were shot and killed in the Booysens Park area in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Colonel Pricilla Naidu says it is alleged that three people were inside a caravan in a yard in Jansen Street when several shots were fired at them.

She says 18-year old Renaldo Burts and 28-year old Justin Bramwell died at the scene.

Naidu says the motive for the attack is still unknown, and police are investigating two cases of murder.

Meanwhile, cases of attempted murder are under investigation, following a shooting incident in Bethelsdorp in Port Elizabeth's northern areas on Saturday evening.

Colonel Naidu says four friends went to a fast food outlet next to a garage in Heathcoat Street at around 7pm, and one of them got out of the vehicle to place their order.

She says while the three others waited in the vehicle, a white Datsun GO approached from the front and several gunshots were fired.

The three occupants jumped out of their vehicle and ran for cover.

Naidu says a 35-year-old and a 28-year-old were wounded in the shooting and taken to hospital.

No arrests have yet been made.
