He said that the house had been rented out as a gay massage parlour. 'When we arrived, the injured were crawling around on the floor,' said Captain Etienne Terblanche. Police described the crime scene as 'horrific', with the premises swimming in blood. The police are not yet certain whether the victims were clients or masseurs at the Sizzlers parlour. A further two are in hospital, one in a critical condition. Two others died after being admitted to hospital. One victim, with a gaping wound in his neck, managed to stagger to a petrol station and raise the alarm at 4am.
Most also had their throats cut, and were found with hands bound behind their backs with packaging tape.
