Two held for execution-style killing of brothers

Police have made headway in their investigation of the double execution-style murder of two brothers in Bishop Lavis - arresting two alleged members of the infamous 28s prison gang. Bishop Lavis police spokesman Earl Coetzee said police received a tip-off, leading to the arrest of a 22-year-old man on Tuesday last week.

The alleged murderer appeared in the Bishop Lavis Magistrate's Court on Thursday and will appear again tomorrow. Coetzee said a second suspect "came in (to the police station) and gave himself up" about 1.30am on Thursday. The 31-year-old man will appear in court today. The Damon brothers, Ralph, 44, and Joshua, 32, were found on Monday night, with a single gunshot wound each to the right side of their heads.Their 38-year-old sister, Merle Grendeling, said the family believed gangs had targeted Ralph, as he was an "independent" tik dealer.
