Members of the community have allegedly mobilised and targeted houses of suspected gangsters following the murder of a young girl in the Easter Cape. A 12-year-old school girl is the latest victim in the ongoing gang war in Port Elizabeth’s notorious Northern Areas.
A 25-year-old man was beaten to death by the vigilante group while a 16-year-old male was also assaulted and admitted to hospital in a critical condition.Brookes sustained a gunshot wound to her head.“I don’t know what to say. But to tell you the truth, I wish I can ask Jesus why me and why my daughter. I still do not believe it.”
“I saw her sleeping with her mouth open, her arms were open like ‘this’ and the way she was lying on the bed, and we were still joking about it. But I never knew it was the last time I would see my child lying in her bed.”
