SA Police Services (SAPS) have found four men dead, and two others injured in Dawn Park, Boksburg east of Johannesburg.
Their bodies were dumped near a railway line on Hazelwood Street.
The four victims were declared dead on the scene, while two survivors were rushed to a local hospital and are still receiving treatment.
Provincial police spokesperson Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi says police received a call that the bodies of six unknown men were dumped next to a railway.
Nevhuhulwi said the men had multiple injuries on their bodies.
“The police request anyone who may have information that can assist with the investigation on this matter to contact their nearest police station or the Crime Stop Line at 08600 10111, alternatively, anonymous tip-offs can also be given via My SAPS App which can be downloaded on any smartphone. Information received will be treated with strictest confidence,” Nevhuhulwi appealed.
An urgent investigation into the matter has been launched with four charges of murder and two of attempted murder now opened at a local police station.
No arrests have been made, and the motive remains unclear.
