Four months after a double murder rocked the community of Helenvale, police are still trying to hunt down the suspects and require the community’s assistance.
In the early hours of the morning of April 1 this year, the bodies of two men were found in Stoffels Street between Voisen Street and Deverell Street. Wilfred Botha (31) and Ricardo Kekana (32) had both sustained gunshot wounds to the head.
