Cape Town family gunned down

ON the eve of the crime statistics release which showed murder has increased, a Cape Town family was gunned down execution-style at their home.

KwaZulu-Natal is the murder capital with 4 859 murders, followed by Gauteng with 4 555 murders and the Eastern Cape is the fourth highest with 3 879. “Nomaphelo had just returned from the hospital with her daughter and they must’ve been ambushed on their way in because there are no signs of a break-in,” she said.

Police spokesperson Brigadier Novela Potelwa said the motive behind the killings was being investigated and police were yet to make arrests.“The vehicle was later found abandoned and burnt. The mother and daughter died on the scene and the son died later in hospital,” said Potelwa.
