outside parents home failed hijacking  You truly were an angel sent from God in heaven above. Your shocking death just broke the hearts of everyone you loved. When I found out that you had died I thought that they were wrong. You were so alive - and then just like that, you were gone. A flame blown out in seconds, Confirming our worst fears - A light that shines no more on earth for which we shed many tears. But still you are our beacon And we need you right now. You hear all the prayers we say Because they are answered somehow. We wish that you could be here, But in a way you are. Thoughts of you area always with us, so we know you can't be far. It still is quite a shock to us that you had to die; But no one will forget you We love you, and goodbye.  Amanda Ritchie

Car Suspected hijacking  Wes was full of hope. He had just been made a permanenent member of staff in his job, had turned 21 a month before, had just bought the car of his dreams. And as a young South African, was colour-blind. He had a long chat to his mom the previous night about a girl he worked with (of a different race), who had become his best friend at work. He told his mother that he was in love with her, wanted to change their relationship from friendship to partners. His mom said that she couldn't be happier about having a daughter-in-law like C. And how proud she was of Wes for seeing the inner person. And the next night, after he'd been to visit the girl, he was shot at close range, in his car at a robot. They took his wallet..and nothing else. Never found, never reported on news, just another death...Wes, your family still miss you - losing you just about killed your mom and Phillip. I miss you too... jacky
