Another two arrested for fatal Wentworth shooting
Updated | By Lauren Beukes
While two suspects in a fatal Wentworth shooting appear in court today, police say they will maintain a presence in the Durban south area until peace is restored.
Two men aged 21 and 38 were arrested on Thursday.
They've joined six other accused - Jasmin Simon, Kyle Pretorius, Tyrel Martin, Chad Marais, Mthandeni Khoza and Trese Pretorious - who are currently in custody.
The eight suspects are alleged to have been involved in the shooting of two men on Gulmal Crescent in July.
One of the victims died in hospital.

Police say five of the accused are due to apply for bail next week.
Ward councillor, Aubrey Snyman believes the increased police visibility in Wentworth has made a significant difference.
"It been quite a while since they brought in these extra reinforcements, we find that it has quieted down. But then people feel what is the point in reporting these crimes.
"I say don't feel despondent - rather report it and you will get results like now, where police are actually taking action."
