Pretoria – Two cricket coaches were found murdered and two others severely assaulted at the the Laudium cricket clubhouse in Centurion on Thursday morning.

Gauteng police spokesperson Captain Augustinah Selepe said the bodies were discovered by a community member around 07:00 and alerted the security guards, who then contacted the police.

The man used to train with the coaches. He discovered their bodies in the men's bathroom on the clubhouse's premises, Selepe said.

All four men were staying at the stadium's living quarters.

The other two me were found severely assaulted in one of the rooms they stayed in.

The motive of the murder and assault was still unknown.

Always sad when a guiding figure is brutalized like this. Obv not saying other deaths hold less value, but *** these people give up so much of their time to help others prosper and become champion players one day, they'd be the last people you'd expect to be targeted.
 
Our condolences with the deceased families. Absolutely shocking
 
Condolences to the families of those that lost their lives. Very sad
