Police are searching for the families of three men found dead in Nelson Mandela Bay at the weekend.

Two of the men were shot; the other had a laceration to his head.

Their bodies were discovered in Walmer township, Kwazakhele and near KwaNobuhle on Saturday.

Police were called to Majola Street, Walmer township, where a man, aged about 30, was lying on his stomach.

He had suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

Police spokesperson Priscilla Naidu said a murder case was being investigated.

“He was dressed in black track pants, a brown fleece jacket, a navy blue beanie and a pair of grey and white takkies,” she said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact detective Sergeant Lindile Mlaza on 082075-7186 or report to their nearest police station.

At about 4am, police were called to Kwazakhele where another body had been found.

“The body of an unknown male with a gunshot wound to his head was lying in the street,” Naidu said.

“Circumstances surrounding the incident are under investigation,” she said.

Anyone who can assist in identifying the man or may know of his next of kin is asked to contact Captain Kulile Ntuli on 071-352-4604 or the nearest police station.

At about 5pm on Saturday a shepherd, while walking along a footpath next to the Uitenhage Airfield fence, discovered a body.

“The deceased was not wearing shoes,” Naidu said.

“He was wearing a greyish jacket, black track pants and navy silk pants underneath the track pants. He had a small laceration on his head. A two-metre stick was at his feet.

“The body was found about 5km from the Kruisrivier area on the mountain top. This is close to the KwaNobuhle residential area.”
