Suspected domestic violence behind fatal Limpopo shooting that left 2 dead

Police are investigating whether a deadly shooting that claimed the lives of a man and a woman may have stemmed from a domestic dispute.

The Seshego police in Limpopo have launched an investigation into the deaths of two adults who were found with gunshot wounds near overnight accommodation in Zone 6.

Limpopo police spokesperson Colonel Malesela Ledwaba says the community heard gunshots at around 20:45 on Tuesday night.

Polokwane Review reports that when police arrived at the scene, they found a man and a woman lying in pools of blood. The police were immediately notified.

“On arrival at the scene, two victims, a male (38) and a female (39), were found with gunshot wounds. The woman had multiple gunshots to the upper body, and the man had one gunshot to the side of his head. They were transported to the hospital for medical attention but unfortunately succumbed to their injuries,” says Ledwaba.

He says domestic violence cannot be ruled out as a motive, but it is yet to be confirmed.

Anyone with information that can assist in the investigation is urged to contact Warrant Officer Calvin Magoro on 084 411 8008, Crime Stop on 08600 10111, or report information via the MySAPS App.
