Two nabbed for actor David Manuel and his friend’s murder

Police in the Western Cape have arrested a woman and a man between the ages of 30 and 40 in connection with the murder of the “Noem my skollie” actor, David Manuel and his friend.

The two men were gunned down in Gugulethu on the Cape Flats last month.

Police spokesperson Wesley Twigg says investigations show that life insurance policies that family members took out is the possible motive for the murders.

Twigg says, “Provincial Serious and Violent Crime detectives started with an intense investigation into the circumstances of the murders. The investigation revealed that life insurance policies were taken out by family members, which was identified as a possible motive.”

“The suspects will appear in the Athlone Magistrate’s Court on charges of murder and fraud on Thursday, 14 November 2024. The possibility of more arrests are not excluded,” he adds.
