John Hadfield stabbed to death at Entombeni Drive, Amanzimtoti: and 12yo Trisston Mostert badly traumatised by gunmen pointing gun at his head:
-----------------
Twelve-year-old Amanzimtoti youth Trisston Mostert so traumatised by armed men holding gun to his head at his Entombeni Drive home, that he now won't leave his dad out of his sight. It was reported on 26 June 2013 by Earl Baillache of the Caxton publication LookLocal.co.za that Trisston Mostert was enjoying the start of his July school holidays watching TV at his Entombeni Drive home at about 10am when two men walked into the house and held a gun to his head.
“Our domestic worker was working in the kitchen,” said Trisston’s father, Johan. “The security gate was closed, but not locked. The men took them into my bedroom and demanded the location of the safe and guns.”
Trisston described the one man as wearing a Bob Marley beanie and sporting a long goatie.
The men told the boy and the domestic worker to hide under the bed. As the bed was too close to the floor to accommodate them, they picked up the bed and made the two lay down, before covering them with the bed and a duvet.
“One of them was speaking Zulu and my son couldn’t understand him,” said Johan. “He told the maid to translate for Trisston that he better get under the bed or else he was going to kill him.”
The men made off with Trisston’s PS3 console and games, about R50,000 worth of Johan’s mother’s jewellery, a camera and several bottles of wine.
Friday: JOHN HADFIELD STABBED TO DEATH, ENTOMBENI DRIVE:
Johan helped assist John Hadfield after he was stabbed twice while walking along Entombeni Drive on Friday evening. He subsequently died in Prince Mshiyeni Hospital.
“Crime in Entombeni Drive is out of control. This is the fourth house robbery we have had since March, including two in four days,” said Johan. "Trisston came to work with me after the robbery and he won’t let me out of his sight.”
