The police at Park Road received and responded to a complaint in Hager Crescent, in Hospital Park in Bloemfontein earlier today.
According to police spokesperson, Thabo Covane, on arrival, members were led to the lounge in the house where two lifeless bodies of the 47-year-old husband and 38-year-old wife were lying in a pool of blood.
“The two bodies were discovered by their 17-year-old daughter at around 06:00 when she entered the main house from an outside cottage that she shares with her brother. She then hurried back to the cottage where her 21-year-old brother was still sleeping. She woke him up and they called the police,” said Covane.
He added that a team of dedicated investigative officers and Local Criminal Record Centre experts were summoned to the scene.
“They processed the scene and discovered that the female victim suffered multiple gunshot wounds in the body and head while the male had one gunshot wound to the head. Both the deceased are employed by the Mangaung Metro Municipality’s Traffic Department,” Covane further said.
The investigation into possible murder continues.
