"In an unrelated shooting incident at about 21:50pm, police members responded to a complaint of a shooting on the corner of 9th Avenue and Verster Street, Eikendal, where they found the bodies of two victims, aged 20 and 22. The suspects fled the scene and are yet to be arrested. The motives for these attacks form part of the police investigation."
