Crime scene investigators comb the scene where four bodies were found along the N7.

Four people were found burned beyond recognition in Dunoon, with a ward councillor saying the shocking incident is allegedly linked to a group accused of raping women in the area.

The bodies were discovered on Sunday in an open field next to the N7 off-ramp on Malibongwe Drive.

Milnerton police were called to the scene, where they found the remains of four people.

Western Cape police spokesperson Brigadier Novela Potelwa confirmed that the victims had been burned beyond recognition.
