This was again confirmed by the guilty finding in a murder case which was investigated by Nyanga COCC Detectives. They arrested five suspects and brought them before the Cape Town High Court.
On 11 July 2016, the deceased, Mr Piet Botha, a train driver, was standing at the Netreg train station in Bonteheuwel. He was confronted by three men who robbed him of his bag and cellular telephones. The suspects produced a firearm and fatally shot the victim and made off with his property.
