CAPE TOWN - Two suspects arrested for the deadly shooting at a barbershop in Site C are expected to appear in the Khayelitsha Magistrate's Court in Cape Town on Friday morning.
 
Three children aged 4, 10 and 12 and a 30-year-old man were killed in a shooting incident last weekend.
 
Seven other people were seriously injured, while two others escaped unharmed.
 
Family members of the deceased minors said they were still struggling to come to terms with their brutal murders.
 
Emotional family members and community members attended a prayer service organised by religious leaders in the township earlier this week.
 
The Khayelitsha Community Policing Forum told Eyewitness News that crime in Site C had been getting out of hand recently.
 
Meanwhile, Cape Town police said that the possibility of more arrests and further charges could not be ruled out.
