It had been 17-year-old Perth Keaden Eksteen's dream to wear a white double-breasted suit with glitz and glam like P Diddy while his family was to be donned all in black and cruise in a white BMW.

Perth's father, Mark, told Cape Argus they would now be placing his body into a white coffin and that they would be dressed in black and be driven in a hearse for his funeral, which is expected to take place on 16 August, depending on finalisation of the DNA testing.

Tragic

Perth was one of four people killed in a tragic accident on Saturday when their car crashed into a tree in Cecil Morgan Road and caught fire, while two other victims were taken to hospital.
