A karate instructor at Shotokan Karate International South Africa was socialising with friends at Hotel Savera when an argument broke out.
A night out with a fellow hearing-impaired friend turned tragic when one of them was allegedly attacked from behind with a bar table and kicked in the stomach several times, leading to him being brain dead for more than a month, reportsDheenadayalan Reddy, 52, a karate instructor at Shotokan Karate International South Africa, was socialising with friends at Hotel Savera when an argument broke out.
Taking a turn for the worst this weekend, doctors notified his family that there was nothing more that they could do, and his brother had to fill in a “do not resuscitate” form so his life hung in the balance.Explaining the extent of his brother’s injuries, Reddy said: “The doctors did a scan and found that his intestines were ruptured and his stomach fluid and contents were spewing out into his abdomen. His kidneys were also failing. He was rushed into theatre and underwent emergency surgery.
“If a person was just attacked violently in your establishment, and that person was still sitting there in pain, it is obvious that something terrible is happening to that person, and yet the staff did not find it necessary to call an ambulance. Is this the kind of society that we live in? He thanked the station commander of the Chatsworth SAPS, Brig Kevin James, and detectives from the Serious and Violent Crimes Unit, for their dedication to the case and everything they are doing in trying to make a successful arrest.
