The scene of a shooting incident.
Three men have been gunned down in Phillipi, on the Cape Flats. Police spokesperson, Andre Traut, says officers found the bodies of the victims with gunshot wounds in Sheffield Road at the Marikana informal settlement on Tuesday night.
He says reports suggest that the victims were executed in a cold-blooded manner.
The motive for this attack is unclear, and no arrests have been made.
“Detectives from the Serious and Violent Crime Unit are investigating and Operation Shanela II deployments have been intensified in the area to quell any further violence. The SAPS will not tolerate such senseless acts of violence, and every effort is being made to track down those responsible.”
