8 Slain in Massacre at Massage Parlor

Eight men were killed and two wounded in an execution-style massacre at a Cape Town massage parlor, police said.

Police spokesman Etienne Terblanche said most of the victims were found shot dead, with their hands tied and throats slit, in a house in the seedy Sea Point suburb, which markets itself as a holiday destination for gays.

Prostitution is common in Sea Point, though police would say only that the house where the bodies were found was known to be a gay massage parlor. Police were seeking four men in connection with the attack.
