A woman was recently shot and killed by a lover, who later turned the gun on himself. The incident took place in the Park Crescent Complex in Orchards, north of Tshwane, on Wednesday.
Photos and videos of the incident circulated on social media: the couple can be seen lying in a pool of blood.

Police spokesman Captain Mavela Masondo said police were alerted to the shooting and responded swiftly.
“On arrival, police discovered the female had been shot in her upper body and the man was alleged to have shot himself in the upper body,” he said.
