The Provincial Gang Investigation Unit is investigating a case of murder and attempted murder after a 39 year old Helenvale man and a woman were allegedly shot while the couple was inside the house.

It is alleged that at about 15:00 on 4 November 2018, Mark Stallenberg and a friend (28 years old) were in the bedroom of his house in Chamois Street, Helenvale, when two men entered the house through the back door. Shots were fired at the couple, fatally wounding Stallenberg in his neck.

The other person sustained a gunshot wound on her lower abdomen. At this stage the motive for the attack on the couple is unknown and the victims have no gang affiliation.

The Provincial Gang Investigation Unit is appealing to the communities of Helenvale and Bethelsdorp to assist them in tracing those responsible in this weekend’s fatal shootings in both areas. Any information relating to these incidents may be communicated to Lt Col Mike Grobler on 082442 1825 or Crime Stop 08600 1011 or their nearest police station.

All information is confidential and callers have the right to remain anonymous.
