Three People Killed in Fairview Home Attack
Crime
Police are investigating a triple murder after three people were killed in a home in Fairview, Gqeberha, on Wednesday night.
At around 10:07 pm on 13 August 2025, an anonymous caller reported a break-in at a residence in Oregon Street. Armed response and SAPS members were dispatched to the scene. On arrival, first responders discovered what they described as a murder scene.
According to initial reports from security officers on site, the suspects are believed to have gained entry by breaking through wooden fencing and removing a window. Once inside, the attackers violently assaulted the occupants, resulting in three fatalities. The weapon used is suspected to have been a panga or sword, and a firearm may also have been involved.
It is understood that the homeowner fired shots at the suspects before one of the attackers took the firearm. SAPS officers secured and cordoned off the scene. The identities of the victims have not yet been released, and police have not confirmed any arrests at this stage.
Authorities have appealed for anyone with information that could assist the investigation to come forward.
Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives in this tragic incident.
