KILLINGS: There is a flare-up in taxi-killings.

Two brutal murders in less than 24 hours over Sunday and Monday raised the tally to five in the last seven days, following three deaths last week.

On Sunday night, a 33-year-old taxi owner affiliated to the Cape Amalgamated Taxi Association (Cata) was shot and killed at 10.30pm while sitting inside his Toyota Fortuner in Mashakane Street, Lwandle, Somerset West.
