By

Three gang members appeared in the Port Elizabeth magistrate court on Monday 11 April on a charge of attempted murder.

It is alleged that on Friday, 25 March 2016 at about 20:48, the victims, aged 33 and 40 years old were sitting in front of their house in Glendinning Street in Shauderville when a minibus drove passed and stopped opposite the road. Several shots were fired from the minibus. The 40 year old victim sustained gunshots to his arm and upper thigh while the 33 year old sustained a gunshot wound to his left knee. A case of attempted murder was opened.

On Saturday, 9 April 2016, members from the Gang Task Team arrested the three suspects at their homes in Gelvandale. The three accused were charged for the attempted murders and remain in police custody until 13 April 2016.
