GEORGE NEWS - The police are following positive leads in the murder investigation of Prince Mmalo (32) who was gunned down late last month in his parked car in Zone 8, Thembalethu.

Southern Cape Police spokesperson, Captain Malcolm Pojie, said although no arrests have been made yet, the investigation is ongoing. "We have positive leads being followed by the police, however we also appeal to the community who might have information about this murder, to please come forward," he said.

Mmola was shot in the head multiple times while seated inside his Isuzu bakkie in Liwani Street, Thembalethu. When the police arrived on the scene, they found the deceased Mmola still in a sitting position behind the steering wheel.

The motive of the murder has not been established.
