Eastern Cape police have arrested four suspects, aged between 28 and 46, in connection with the murder of two women in Walmer in Gqeberha.

Police Spokesperson, Sandra Janse van Rensburg, says the police responded to reports of gunfire in Sakhasonke Village where upon arrival they found the bodies of two women, aged 40 and 19.

They were shot multiple times.

Janse Van Rensburg says their investigations lead them to the Dora Nginza Hospital where they arrested the first suspect.

“Further investigations led the members to a residence in Greenshields Park, where three more suspects were arrested. During the operation, police confiscated a Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun and a box of 9mm ammunition. The motive behind the killings remains under investigation. The suspects are facing charges of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition. They are set to appear in the Gqeberha Magistrate’s Court on Monday,”
