Police are investigating a murder case following the death of a 43-year-old man in Vlakfontein’s Extension 1, on Monday, April 16, at about 9:20pm.
It is alleged that the man was in the company of his friend and were standing outside the yard when a black Toyota sedan pulled up next to them.
“One perpetrator alighted from the vehicle and shot the victim on the chest before getting back into their getaway vehicle and speeding off,” said Sergeant Khalipha Mvula of the Lenasia South SAPS.
The victim collapsed and was later certified dead by paramedics.
“The motive behind the murder is still unknown and police are following the leads that we hope will lead to the arrest of the suspects,” added Mvula.
