The bodies of two men were found in Freedom Park, in Rustenburg, North West police said on Sunday.

Brigadier Thulani Ngubane said the body of a 27-year-old man was found with a bullet wound by the right ear with the bullet entering from the left ear.

“The suspects placed a blooded stone next to the deceased's body to disguise that the deceased was hit with a stone... The man was not killed at the scene,” Ngubane said.

On May 30, the body of a 26-year-old man was found with two stab wounds at the back of the neck. The body was lying next to a stone, he said.

“The deceased are not related and the modus operandi used to kill both the deceased are similar.”

Ngubane said no arrests had been made and investigations were continuing. - Sapa
