According to police reports, at approximately 8:30 pm, SAPS Walmer officers responded to reports of gunfire. Upon arrival, police discovered two lifeless bodies of women aged 40 and 19 with multiple gunshot wounds.
As detectives were examining the crime scene, crucial leads led the police to search local hospitals, where they arrested the first suspect.
“At Dora Nginza Hospital, they arrested a suspect receiving treatment for a leg injury, which was later connected to the Walmer murders. Further investigations led the members to a residence in Greenshields Park, where three more suspects were arrested,” the police statement read.

Police are still investigating the motive behind the murders.
The suspects are facing charges of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition and are set to appear at the Gqeberha Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 5 May 2025.
