In a shocking display of violence that has left the Maitland community in mourning, six individuals were shot dead and two others injured in two separate shooting incidents that occurred just minutes apart in the early hours of Tuesday morning, Cape town Etc reports.
The incidents, which are being investigated by the Western Cape police, appear to be indicative of the ongoing gang-related tensions plaguing the area.
The first incident was reported around 02:50am on Melck Street in Ndabeni, where police discovered the lifeless bodies of three women, aged between 20 and 52, and an adult male inside an informal dwelling.
