Two men in dock for Bishop Lavis murders
Cape Argus
|July 16, 2025
TWO men accused of carrying out a mass shooting that left four people dead, including an 80-year-old woman, made their first appearance in the Bishop Lavis Magistrate's Court yesterday.
Lucian Pangaker and Lytan Adams, both 23 years old, were arrested on Monday, just three days after the deadly attack on a home in Reenberg Street, Bishop Lavis.
They face four counts of murder after allegedly storming the residence around 7:15pm on Friday and opening fire on its occupants.
The victims, two women and two men aged between 27 and 80, were declared dead at the scene.
According to police, the suspects wore balaclavas during the attack and fled the scene in a VW Polo.
The court heard that Pangaker has yet to appoint a private attorney, prompting the magistrate to postpone the matter to Friday.
