A resident who lives on Ulundi Street said that although he did not hear anything at the time the incident is said to have taken place, he was “not surprised” to learn about it as he has also been a victim of violent crime in the area recently.

“I was robbed round here on Christmas day. I just stepped outside for a cigarette and a group pulled up with balaclavas, machetes, and guns," he said.

Three police vehicles were still on the scene, parked in the backstreet behind Unlundi Street, this afternoon at around 4pm.

There was also a cordon in place at one end of the backstreet at this time.

Crime scene investigators could be seen entering a property from the backstreet as they examined the area for evidence.
