S.Africa: Wall of Death shootings toll rises to four

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: Wall of Death shootings toll rises to four

Durban police suspect that Saturday night’s shooting incident at an Asherville funfair stemmed from a turf war between rival Springfield gangs.

They have also confirmed that the death toll from the shooting at Bally’s Funfair in Foxglove Road, off Alpine Road, has risen to four.

Sydenham police on Monday handed the case to the Durban South serious and violent crimes unit and a police source at the unit said police were working on the theory that it was a gang-related incident.

‘The motive for the killings is thought to be gang related’
The source said the five people at the fair who were the targets of the shooters and the suspects in the case were from two rival gangs that had been operating in the Springfield area.

“One part of the area belonged to one gang and the other side of the area belonged to the second gang,” he said.

The source said police are investigating the possibility that the victims had trespassed on the other gang’s territory, resulting in the bloody retaliation.

The source confirmed that the victims had been playing a card game at the fair and had been illegally gambling.

“At this stage, the motive for the killings is thought to be gang related,” said the police source. The victims’ identities have not yet been released by police to protect their families.

No arrests have yet been made.

The five victims – aged between 27 and 30 – were gunned down by an armed gang which entered the fair and opened fire. Instead of finding entertainment, fun and laughter, patrons were caught up in a bloodbath.

Terrified families ran for cover and parents tried to shelter their children when the gunmen shot the five people in the head. One of the men died before paramedics arrived. The other four were taken to Addington Hospital where one died a few hours later.

The third victim died on Monday morning and the fourth later in the day. The condition of the fifth victim has been described as “stable”. All were shot in the head and one was also shot in the leg.

Sydenham Police Station spokesperson Captain Myentherin Lazarus said the incident happened very quickly.

He said several suspects arrived in a white bakkie and opened fire using automatic firearms a few metres from the amusement park’s Wall of Death attraction.

“Everyone ran for cover,” he said.

Four cases of murder and one case of attempted murder are being investigated by the Durban South serious and violent crimes unit.
