Anti-Gang Unit detectives have made a breakthrough in the investigation into a mass murder in Bishop Lavis.

Two men and two women were shot and killed on Friday night.

One of the victims is an 80-year-old.

Police said two gunmen opened fire on the four victims inside a bedroom and fled the scene in a VW Polo.

The Police's Joseph Swartbooi explained, "Sterling tracing operations by detectives attached to the Anti-Gang Unit led to the arrest of two suspects after four victims were gunned down in Bishop Lavis on Friday, the 11th of July 2025. The possibility that the incident is gang-related cannot be ruled out."
