Community protest for Taegrin Morris

A group of Reiger Park community members is protesting outside the Reiger Park police station, demanding justice for Taegrin Morris (4) who was killed after being dragged head down of a moving hijacked vehicle.

The members have also raised issues of concern about the unacceptable level of crime in the area and want police to ensure their safety.

The station commander, Col Sipho Mathebula, addressed the crowd and assured them that police will do their best to bring the criminals responsible for the incident to book.

The protesters say they are also showing solidarity and support for the family of Taegrin in this time of loss.

The group has also threatened to march when the one arrested suspect appears in court.

The court date has not yet been confirmed.

Police had offered a reward of R50 000 for information on the hijacking.
