Police are investigating a string of violent incidents<\/a> in Kraaifontein after three separate shootings in Wallacedene left three people dead, a fourth person wounded, and a woman raped in the early hours of Sunday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Western Cape police spokesperson Brigadier Novela Potelwa confirmed that crime scene experts were still combing the scenes on Sunday as detectives try to unravel the motive behind the violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to police, the first incident occurred at about 01:00 when a 35-year-old man was gunned down in the Mhongqo informal settlement. The circumstances surrounding the shooting are not yet known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An hour later, another man was shot and wounded close to the first scene. During the attack, his female companion was raped about 30 metres away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At about 03:15am, two men, both estimated to be between 25 and 30 years old, were fatally shot near the earlier crime scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe motive for the shooting incidents is the subject of the initiated police investigations,\u201d said Potelwa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means the tally from Sunday\u2019s shootings stands at three dead, one wounded, and one woman raped. No arrests have been made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a separate incident, police confirmed that a man died after being stabbed in the chest in the Covid informal settlement in Bloekombos on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police have deployed additional resources to the area as investigations continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
