A Port Elizabeth father and his seven-month-old daughter were shot and killed in their bed in a suspected hit.
Siyabulela Vena, 40, was shot multiple times and his daughter Asesakhe was shot more than twice, while they were lying in bed in their Soweto on Sea, Zwide, home.
Asesakhe was lying between Vena and his 32-year-old girlfriend, who managed to escape unscathed.
While the motive for the brutal murders remains unclear, police have confirmed that it was most likely a targeted hit.
This brings the latest number of people killed in apparent hit-style murders in Nelson Mandela Bay to 11, since late January.
Vena’s girlfriend is not being named by police for her protection.
