On Tuesday, an eight-month-old was killed during a shooting in Wolseley in the Breede River Valley.

Police carried an arrest and a 34-year old suspect will come before the court on Friday linked with the murder of the baby girl.

He was also charged with the attempted murder of the child’s father.

According to the police, the injured man, his wife, and their daughter were all at home in the Pine Valley informal settlement when suddenly four assailants barged in on Tuesday night.

One of the assailants shot at the man who was carrying his baby in his arms.
