Cape Town police searching for motives after deadly Constantia & Wynberg shootings

Cape Town crime scene experts are busy combing crimes scenes in the Wynberg and Constantia areas following deadly shootings.

In Constantia, four people were shot and killed by unknown gunmen on Thursday morning.

In a separate incident in Wynberg, a woman was also shot and killed outside the local magistrate’s court earlier today.

A section of Evergreen Lane in Constantia was cordoned off by the police as crime scene experts collected evidence inside the house where the shooting occurred.

Police said that they were called out to the scene just after 8 AM on Thursday, where they found two men and two women aged between forty and 50 years old with gunshot wounds.

Meanwhile, a woman believed to be a suspect that turned State witness, was also shot and killed outside the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court this morning.

Police spokesperson Malcolm Pojie said that the woman was declared dead on the scene.

“Preliminary reports reveal that the unknown deceased was walking in the street near the court when she was approached by unknown gunmen who started shooting at her, wounding her fatally.”

The motives for both shootings are unknown at this stage.
