In a separate case, a tragic event unfolded on October 27, when a 17-year-old girl named Jade Vries fell victim to two armed robbers on Princess Avenue in Delmore Gardens.

According to Msimanga, authorities allege that the suspects robbed the girl of her cell phone during the incident and fatally shot her.

Upon receiving the notification of the murder around 19:40, the police quickly arrived at the scene. They discovered the lifeless body of the girl in a purple Honda Ballade on Princess Avenue.

The grieving mother of the child relayed that she had parked the car to buy cookies at a nearby house. While inside, she heard a gunshot and rushed outside to investigate, only to find her daughter deceased. She suspects that the perpetrators who killed her daughter also stole her cellphone.

The police have opened cases of murder and theft. The suspects remain at large.
