BLOEMFONTEIN - Police at Parkweg received and responded to a complaint in Hager Crescent, Hospitaalpark near Bloemfontein earlier today. On arrival at the scene, members were led to the lounge in the house where two lifeless bodies of the 47-year-old husband and 38-year-old wife were lying in a pool of blood.

The two bodies were discovered by their 17-year-old daughter at about 06:00 when she entered the main house from an outside cottage that she shares with her brother. She then hurried back to the cottage where her 21-year-old brother was still sleeping. She woke him up and they called the police.

A team of dedicated investigation officers and Local Criminal Record Centre experts were summoned to the scene. They processed the scene and discovered that the female victim suffered multiple gunshot wounds on the body and head while the male had one gunshot wound on the head. Both the deceased are employed by Mangaung Metro Municipality Traffic Department. The investigation in the Murder and Inquest cases continues.
