GEORGE NEWS - Two people were arrested in connection with two unrelated murders in Thembalethu on Saturday 15 June.
The first incident took place at about 02:00 in Nqwemesha Street, Zone 9. According to Southern Cape police spokesperson Sgt Chris Spies, the body of a 49-year-old man, was found in a yard.
The victim, Daniel Nyundu, had sustained an open wound to the chest and was declared dead by paramedics at the scene.
A suspect was arrested shortly after the incident and was scheduled to appear in court this week.
The motive of the killing is unknown at this stage and forms part of the investigation.
At about 08:45 the same day, police were called to the George Provincial Hospital after a victim (17) died as a result of injuries sustained during an assault last month.
"Preliminary investigation indicates that the boy was admitted to hospital on 5 May with head injuries believed to be inflicted by a blunt object. He was later transferred to a hospital in Cape Town for further medical care. He returned to George on 13 June where he was hospitalised until his death," said Spies.
Further investigation also led to an arrest in this case.
