Families of Reiger Park shootings want answers
Three young men have been arrested and charged with the murders.
The families of Rolene Lessing and Jaydin Magerman, among the four individuals fatally shot in Reiger Park, South Africa, are desperately seeking answers. Both victims were killed while parked in a vehicle on a street in the area. The attackers were three young men who have since been arrested and charged for the murders.
Lessing's cousin, Sharney Blackway, and Magerman's mother, Collette Landsberg, express their inability to cope with the tragedy. Blackway states, "As far as I am concerned, and as far as I know, they were innocent in this case. We don’t understand why." The families cannot fathom the motive behind the senseless killings, given that the victims come from no gangsterism background.
This lack of understanding only fuels the anger felt by Landsberg, who remarks, "So, what could be your motive? So, yes I am angry." The families desperately want answers and are adamant that the deaths of their loved ones should not be in vain.
