The four men who were gunned down in a mass shooting in Bethelsdorp on Thursday have been identified.
They are Ashwell Ruben Andrews, Michael Roberts, Jerome Mainz and 22-year-old Jayden Loggenberg.
Three of the deceased's ages must still be verified.
Five men aged between 29 and 31 were also wounded in the shooting in Barend Street in Salt Lake in the Northern Areas of Gqeberha.
Police did not want to speculate on the motive for the shooting but the house was known to be a drug den.
Although police are investigating all possibilities the docket has been given to the Anti-Gang Unit.
According to reports four suspects wearing balaclavas arrived at the house in two separate vehicles and were given access to the property.
Spokesperson Brigadier Tembinkosi Kinana says the nine victims were ushered into the garage before several shots were fired.
He says the investigation continues.
