Bishop Lavis police are investigating a horrific triple murder following a deadly shooting in Valhalla Park. The latest casualty, an 18-year-old man, tragically died yesterday, becoming the third victim of a violent attack.

 

Police spokesperson Wesley Twigg confirmed that the shooting occurred on Saturday in Paulus Street, where a 41-year-old woman and a 32-year-old man were killed instantly at the scene.

 

 

“The motive for the shooting remains unknown and no arrests have been made. Anyone with any information about this incident can contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or use the MySAPS mobile application anonymously.”

 

 

The Bishop Lavis Community Policing Forum (CPF) Chairperson, Amanda Davids, revealed the depth of the loss: the female victim was the mother of the 18-year-old man who later died from his injuries.

 

“We condemn this incident. It is unimaginable for a family to lose both a mother and her son in such a brutal way. To the families, we extend our deepest condolences. This is a tragedy that no family should ever have to endure.”
