Three Thembalethu murders in four days

It seems that Thembalethu is fast becoming the murder capital of George.

- Kristy Kolberg

The police are investigating three murders in this area after three men were killed in unrelated incidents. One was possibly linked to a courier vehicle robbery in Zone 4 just days before.

On Friday night, 30 Mei, is 'n man in 'n huis in die informele nedersetting in Sone 6 doodgeskiet.

Volgens inligting was die aanvallers betrokke by 'n konfrontasie met 'n inwoner van die huis en het 'n poging aangewend op sy lewe. Hy het egter daarin geslaag om te ontsnap nadat hy sy hond op die aanvallers losgelaat het. Die verdagtes het toe hul aandag op die tweede man in die huis gevestig en hom geskiet, wat hom doodgemaak het.

Daar word geglo hierdie moord kan verbind word met die gewapende roof van 'n koerierdiensvoertuig in Sone 4 op Donderdag 29 Mei. Die afleweringsvoertuig is om ongeveer 11:00 beroof toe drie mans, een met 'n vuurwapen, die bestuurder uit die voertuig gedwing en van die pakkies agter uit gesteel het voordat hulle van die toneel gevlug het.
