A MITCHELLS Plain father is stukkend after his son allegedly gunned down his sisters in last Thursday’s tragic shooting in front of Portlands Primary School.

Speaking to the Weekend Argus, the dad of accused shooter Ederees Smith and his murdered sisters, Zainab Jacobs and Gouwa Smith-Newman, has urged the public to stop speculating about what happened and to instead keep his family in their prayers.
