Delft police arrest two suspects for triple murder

Following the murder of three men in a shack at the Lockdown Village informal settlement in Delft South early on Tuesday morning 27 October 2020, Delft police have been hard at work following specific leads. On Tuesday evening Delft crime prevention unit members apprehended two suspects aged 25 and 29 in the area for the murders.

Reports indicate that police were called out to the informal settlement at 05:00 on Tuesday morning where they found in one of the shacks three men aged 19, 21 and 23 dead with multiple gunshot wounds to their upper bodies.

Information gathered on the scene indicated a fight over alcohol had occurred inside the shack on Monday evening which led to two men leaving the shack. In the early hours of the morning shots were heard from the shack and suspects were spotted fleeing on foot.

The arrested suspects are expected to appear in the Bellville Magistrate’s court on Thursday on charges of murder.
