A couple was found murdered in a pool of blood in Duncan Village, East London, yesterday, February 18.
The boyfriend and girlfriend were allegedly together inside a shack belonging to the girlfriend when a suspect kicked down the door and started attacking the couple with a sharp object.
Police spokesperson, Capt. Hazel Mqala, said that the neighbours heard a loud scream from the couple and thereafter everything went quiet. The suspect was then seen leaving the scene quietly as if nothing had happened.
"The neighbours decided to go and have a look at the deceased's shack and they found the couple lying in a pool of blood. Upon closer observations, it was found that the couple had multiple stab wounds to their upper bodies. No murder weapon could be found at the scene," she said.
"The two deceased were certified dead on the scene by EMS and their bodies were removed after all the necessary preliminary investigations were concluded at the scene. It is alleged that the suspect was the ex-boyfriend of the female deceased," she added.
"The Station's 72-hour Activation Plan is in place to arrest the suspect who is currently still at large. He is known and will be arrested soon. The two murder cases have been registered at Duncan Village."
