Two teenagers were arrested in connection with an attack last Tuesday night in Philippi East in which five people were killed.
Seven suspects stormed into a house in Block 4 around 6:30 pm and began shooting blindly. Four young men died at the scene while a fifth later died in a hospital.
Brig. Western Cape police spokesperson Novela Potelwa said in a statement that an 18- and 19-year-old were arrested in Delft on Monday.
“Philippi East detectives, supported by members of the National Public Order Policing Unit, tracked and struck information on a house in Main Road in Delft.”
The suspects are expected to appear in Athlone Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday on charges of murder.
Potelwa says they expect to arrest more suspects as the investigation progresses.
