Bogus charges against Cape Town CPF head dropped
The director for Safety and Security, Richard Bosman, claimed Community Police Forum chairperson Ebrahiem Abrahams and his family were the cause of Gouwa Karriem’s killers getting away.
However, two suspects were arrested within minutes of the shooting at Donegal Court on Sunday, while cops on Thursday confirmed a third suspect, aged 17, was nabbed on Wednesday. Abrahams and his son, Yusuf, 27, were charged with being riotous in their own home, assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and obstructing police officers from executing their duties.But when they appeared in the Athlone Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, they were told the National Prosecuting Authority would not be moving ahead with the case and the charges were dropped.
