Community in mourning after senseless murder of Eastdene mainstay
A prominent businessman and family man was gunned down yesterday afternoon in his home in Oos Street.
The Eastdene community is mourning the traumatic murder of Mr Ahmed Muhammed who was shot and killed during an armed robbery 15:00 yesterday afternoon at his residence in Oos Street.
Mr Muhammed the owner of ABC Couriers, was described as a pillar who was actively involved in community work, including the CPF and Middelburg Muslim School where the youngest of his children are enrolled as learners.
The school, upon hearing of his murder, has since issued a circular informing of the postponement of their athletics event today, in respect to his family.
Mr Muhammed is survived by his wife, three sons, two daughters and his sister Maimoonah, who was also assaulted during the robbery.
The armed suspects fled in Mr Muhammed’s black Toyota Etios, registration: FVC 769 MP. The vehicle is marked by hail damage and is equipped with black steel rims without rim covers.
Any sightings of the suspects or stolen vehicle are to be reported to the SAPS.
