At approximately 06h12 this morning, the Marshall Security Emergency Dispatch Centre received an urgent message from a local Crime Alert WhatsApp Group. The report indicated that a body had been discovered on a pathway between Crow Place and Johanna Road in the Sea Cow Lake area.
Marshall Security immediately dispatched Armed Response Officers to the location. Upon arrival, our officers confirmed the presence of a male victim who appeared to have been beaten to death. A replica firearm was found lying next to the body.
Greenwood Park SAPS arrived at the scene shortly thereafter and have taken over the investigation. At this time, the identity of the victim and the circumstances leading to the death remain unclear. Further details will be released as the investigation progresses.
Marshall Security extends its condolences to the family of the victim and reaffirms its commitment to community safety. We encourage all residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement or local security services.
For any additional information, please contact Greenwood Park SAPS, who are leading the investigation.
