* In the first incident, a 29-year-old man was shot inside his shack in the newly established Yulana informal settlement, along Commissioner Road, next to Delmore Gardens.
The incident occurred at around 4am on Sunday.
Reiger Park police spokesman Sgt Mashudu Phathela said it is alleged that the deceased was in the shack, along with his girlfriend and a six-year-old boy (belonging to the girlfriend’s sister), when two unknown men entered the shack.
They flashed a torch light in their eyes and then shot the boyfriend without saying a word.
Phathela said the man was shot in the forehead and paramedics certified him dead on the scene.
Both suspects fled the scene and are at large.
“One projectile and a spent cartridge was found at the scene.”

“The suspect took out the knife and stabbed the deceased in the chest once. He was certified dead by the paramedics on the scene.
“The suspect fled the scene after but handed himself over at the police station later on.”
He was charged with murder. The knife used in the murder was found at the scene.
