Sonny (d.o.b. Unknown - 2019)

Brief overview:

Sonny, from Fochville, was was tied up, beaten, suffered sever head injuries, and forced to drink poison, on 29th July 2019. He was rushed to hospital, but passed away as a result of the injuries he had sustained. His assailants made off with his car and personal belongings. Ina Cilliers of the DA MPL and Constituency Head for Merafong has been left dismayed, and stated that, Westonaria SAPS has classified the crime as a house robbery. In the absence of separate and accurate rural crime statistics it is not possible to develop effective interventions. It is time for the Department of Agriculture to collaborate with the Department of Community Safety and to not see rural crime as a separate issue from agricultural production. Authorities are remaining tight-lipped about much of the investigation.
