Cape Flats street kids executed
THE bodies of four teenagers were found in a Cape Town suburb
yesterday after the youths had been lined up and shot, write KEN
VERNON and JANET HEARD.
The executions, at Bonteheuwel on the Cape Flats, have baffled police
and the community. The bodies were found lying close to each other
along a railway line. All the youths had been shot once in the back of
the head with a large-calibre handgun.
They were well known in the area as they did not attend school and
spent their days roaming the streets. The victims have been identified
as Phillip Prins, 17, Ebrahim Adams, 16, Wayne Booysen, 19, and
Anthony Hendricks, 19.
Jasiem Scholtz, who lives near the murder scene, said he was woken by
gunfire at about midnight.
Police said it appeared that more than one person was involved in the
killings but said there was no obvious motive. "It was not a gangland
killing as the youths were not members of any gang as far as we know,"
he said.
"She could not take them in, and that is the last that anyone saw of
them," he said.
