- BY MARSHA DEAN AND GENEVIEVE SERRA

KILLED IN A DRIVE-BY

A MAN previously charged with the murder of Clare Swartz, was killed during a gang fight on Monday afternoon in Tafelsig, Mitchells Plain.

Diego Blaauw, 22, was arrested after the gruesome discovery of Swartz's body. He was soon afterwards charged for Swartz's murder, but freed a month later. This was due to a lack of evidence.

Swartz, a mother of one, was found stabbed, half naked and dumped at the Wolfgat Nature Reserve on 21 August 2025.

She was stabbed multiple times in the neck while her boyfriend, who was also knifed, managed to get away and flee for his life.

A total of six suspects had been arrested and charged, with four being released, one of which was Blaauw.
