CAPE TOWN - Two suspects facing double murder charges are expected to appear in the Hermanus Magistrates Court on Monday.
In November last year, two people were shot and killed during a standoff between rival associations at a taxi rank in Hermanus, in the Overberg region.
The case was handed over to the provincial Serious Violent Crime Taxi Violence Unit for further investigation.
Western Cape police spokesperson Wesley Twigg said they were arrested last week.
"An intelligence-driven operation between the taxi violence unit and the Overberg operational team was conducted at identified addresses in the Zwelitsha, Hermanus area, where the members arrested two 31-year-old male suspects in connection with these murders."
