A manhunt is underway following a triple murder in Parkwood on Sunday night, 18 May. Three men, believed to be in their thirties and forties, were gunned down in a drive-by shooting, while a fourth victim sustained injuries.
Police spokesperson Colonel André Traut confirmed the incident and said that investigations are ongoing.
“The victims were sitting outside a residence in Kiewiet Way, Parkwood, at approximately 19:50 when unknown suspects opened fire on them from a white vehicle. The suspects fled the scene immediately after the shooting. A fourth victim, aged 24, sustained injuries but declined medical assistance from emergency services at the scene,” said Traut.
