Cape Town – The bodies of three men were discovered after City Law Enforcement Marine Unit officers decided to search a bakkie in the Bay View section of Strandfontein this morning – on a stretch of coastline well known for the dumping of bodies.

At about 7am, the officers were patrolling along Lukannon Drive when they spotted a suspicious vehicle on the beach directly opposite Nautilus Way, the City said. Four males walking towards the ocean caught their attention. 

"They monitored the vehicle and then decided to approach the unknown males. On checking the vehicle, they found the bodies of two adult males covered with blankets," the City said. 

"Further  investigation revealed another body of a male in the bakkie. The four males were immediately arrested. 

"This stretch of coastline is well known for the dumping of bodies. The scene has been handed over to SAPS, who will investigate further."
