S.Africa: 16-year-old shoots a major drug dealer

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

S.Africa: 16-year-old shoots a major drug dealer

[Sadly this boy appears to have murdered someone else. Were it not for the other murder, of a friend, I would have said this kid should be given a medal and made into the Chief of Police!! Jan]

A 16-year-old Durban boy was charged with murder on Sunday after he allegedly gunned down a man suspected to be a major drug dealer in the Point Road area at the weekend.

The boy, who spent the weekend in police custody, allegedly shot the suspected dealer 14 times from close range with a 9mm pistol.

The shooting happened after a heated argument between the two at about 3am on Saturday. Police suspect the fall-out may have been drug-related and said they would investigate that possibility.

It is believed the boy is wanted in Hammarsdale
SAPS spokesperson for central Durban, Inspector Michael Read, said the 27-year-old victim sustained multiple gunshot wounds to his chest and died at the scene.

“There was allegedly an argument between the two outside the St James Hotel when the suspect pulled out his firearm and shot the deceased.

“We received reports that the deceased was a supplier of drugs in the area and we are looking into this,” said Read.

“The boy is currently in police custody. Due to the seriousness of the offence, he will remain in custody until he appears in court.

“The court will then determine if he should remain in custody or be released to a place of safety.”

Further investigation by The Mercury revealed that the victim, Goodenough Dunn, also sustained two gunshot wounds to his head.

Police sources said the boy was found to be living in a Point flat and had run away from his home in Hammarsdale.

It is believed the boy is wanted in Hammarsdale in connection with the fatal shooting of one of his friends, who was about the same age.

That shooting apparently also took place after an altercation between the two.

The boy is expected to make his first appearance in the Durban magistrate’s court on Monday.

The suspected drug-related shooting comes after a massive police operation to disrupt criminal activity, especially drug operations, in the Point Road area.

The operation yielded few drug-related arrests, as well as for crimes in the illegal sex industry and for immigration violations.

According to a report in The Mercury last year, information provided by the SA Correctional Services showed that nearly 35 000 young South Africans were in jail, either awaiting trial or serving sentences for various crimes.

KwaZulu-Natal was reported to have the highest number of young people in jail, with 3 365 teenagers awaiting trial or serving sentences for murder.
