The bodies of four men with their hands tied behind their backs have been found on the Cape Flats. According to police a passer-by found the bodies near a scrapyard in Philippi on Tuesday morning. It appeared as if the men were stoned to death. The motive for killings and the identities of the four men were still not known.
