TWO children killed in gang warfare have been laid to rest at the weekend, with police confirming no arrests in one of the cases.

As nine-year-old Zechariah Matthee's funeral service together with his aunt, Cleo Bailey, took place on Saturday, 13 December, so did the burial of Alnika Mitchell, 14, of Kensington.

Zechariah and Bailey's funeral service was held at the House of Grace Ministries in Mitchells Plain, just days after various pastors and mothers in the community carried out an open-air prayer service in front of the house where the triple murder was committed, calling for an end to the bloedbad.
