According to police the 50-year old Afrikaans soapie actor then attempted to take his own life by swallowing a bottle of sleeping tablets.
Warrant Officer (WO) Ferrerer, Communications Officer from Norkem Park Police, said SAPS was alerted to a murder scene on Friday, 14 April.
On arrival police found the body of a male victim who was shot and killed. The suspect was then arrested but had informed police he had swallowed the pills and was subsequently moved to Tembisa Hospital for treatment and monitoring.
“Both the deceased (29) and the arrested (50) are men. The actor is a 50-year-old man who is in hospital, and his partner, 29-year-old male (deceased).”
An unlicensed firearm was confiscated from the premises.
