'On arrival at the scene, two victims, a male (38) and a female (39), were found with gunshot wounds. The woman had multiple gunshots to the upper body, and the man had one gunshot to the side of his head. They were transported to the hospital for medical attention but unfortunately succumbed to their injuries,' says Ledwaba.

Bogus cops demand money to release people from custody
Northern Cape police have warned of a scam in which unsuspecting victims are asked for money in exchange for the release of a loved one from custody. Police spokesperson said Kimberley police were urging the public to remain vigilant. 'During investigations, authorities identified a scam whereby the victim receives notification telephonically from an alleged SAPS official indicating that a person known to them has been arrested. The scammer then demands payment, and money is to be deposited via a supermarket,' she said. Ehlers said police officers did not request payment from the public. She urged the public to refrain from depositing money if approached. 'Always exercise caution when dealing with online and telephonic communications. If in doubt, contact your bank or the police directly,' she said. Suspicious activities can be reported via the My SAPS app or the Crime Stop number 08600 10111. In the event of extortion, the national hotline can be reached on 0800 911 011. News24 previously reported that online scam artists were impersonating SAPS officials looking for a bribe as part of an elaborate ploy. The scammers allegedly used people's compromised personal information to gain their trust. The scam starts with someone claiming to be from South Africa's communications regulator before the scammers pass targets on to fake SAPS detectives. They charge as much as R10 000 to make 'cases' disappear.
