Police are investigating a case of multiple murder after four men were shot and killed in what appears to have been a targeted attack in Sebenza on Saturday evening.

According to SAPS district spokesperson Captain Neldah Sekgobela, officers responded to reports of a shooting on Zuurfontein Road, near Restoration Church and China Gate, at about 18:15 on July 25.

“On arrival at the scene, it was established that an unknown white sedan allegedly approached a motor vehicle occupied by four male persons believed to be Pakistani nationals,” said Sekgobela.

Police allege the sedan stopped behind the victims’ vehicle before three armed suspects got out and opened fire from both sides of the vehicle.
