At this stage, it’s not known how many suspects were involved or what had transpired at the crime scene before the arrival of police members. Police, however, say they do believe that the attack could be related to gang activity. Detectives in Muizenberg have opened four dockets for attempted murder. The investigation continues. They’ve called on anyone with information to come forward. You can contact Crime Stop on 08600 10111 or use the mobile application MySAPS anonymously.
