According to police, the victims were in Bayern Munich Road when unidentified suspects opened fire and killed them.

In an unrelated incident, members of Operation Restore in Mitchells Plain followed up on information of a firearm being kept at a complex in Dassenberg Street, Tafelsig on Saturday.
Van Wyk said the members went to the address and found a 49-year-old man had gained access to premises and a search ensued.
“During the search they found a wooden replica firearm with two iron pipes and one round of ammunition. They proceeded to another premises in Arsenal Road, Freedom Park where a 26-year-old male was found at the premises. Another replica firearm, black in colour, with black sellotape and one round of ammunition was found.”
Both suspects were arrested for alleged possession of prohibited firearms and ammunition and will make their appearance in the Mitchells Plain Magistrate’s Court once charged.
