Police want to question four white men who were driving a white three-series BMW.Īccording to the South African Press Association, one of the men has a tattoo of a curled-up snake on his upper arm and the words 'fast gun' tattooed on his right wrist. Six died on the spot and two died later in hospitals.
The victims were tied up and shot at close range, and their throats were slit. 'We have been very concerned about threats issued by various fringe groups in society over recent months that indicated an intention to perpetrate acts of violence against lesbian and gay people,' said LGEP's Evert Knoesen. Police believe the executions may be connected to organized crime but the Lesbian and Gay Equality Project urged investigators not to dismiss the possibility of a hate crime.
