Witnesses urged to step forward in Mitchell's Plain murder case

SUSPECTED GANG VIOLENCE

- GENEVIEVE SERRA

SIX weeks after the murder of 9-year-old Zechariah Matthee and his aunt, Cleo Bailey and Mousheen Daniels, the Community Policing Forum (CPF) is calling on witnesses to come forward and assist with the case.

Zechariah, a learner at Caradale Primary School, was shot dead by gang members while hiding inside a cupboard in his home in Viscount Street, Rocklands, Mitchells Plain on December 2. Bailey and Daniels, who were also on the property at the time, were killed as well.

Zechariah was to begin his journey in Grade 4 as the new school year begins but sadly his young life was snuffed out.
