Three people have died in Wells Estate after they were beaten and burnt to death on Tuesday following the recovery of an alleged stolen vehicle in the area.

Two the victims were necklaced with tyres while the third was beaten to death.

By 2:45pm police had not yet secured the scene. 

It is believed two others managed to flee.

A large group of community members have gathered near the scene.
