Police are investigating the murder of two taxi owners killed in Mabopane, Tshwane, on Wednesday.

According to an article published by Pretoria Rekord, SAPS Tshwane spokesperson Warrant Officer Marinda Austin says on Wednesday, at about 16:30, a sergeant of the Dube SAPS was returning home after reporting for duty.

She says on her way, the sergeant observed a group of people gathered beside two bodies at the Engen garage in Central City.

“The sergeant promptly assumed control of the scene and contacted emergency medical services and Loate SAPS for assistance.”

She says the crime scene was secured, and forensic experts conducted a thorough examination for evidence and leads.

“Several spent cartridges were recovered by the crime scene management team.”

The cartridges will be analysed as part of the investigation to determine whether they can be linked to other incidents.

“Preliminary investigations suggest that a white Volkswagen carrying four occupants may be connected to the case.

“The motive for the crime remains under investigation.”

Major-General Samuel Thine commends the sergeant for her exemplary professionalism and dedication in serving the community.
