One child stabbed to death at ‘festival’ at Newcastle Swimming Pool
Chaos reigns at the Newcastle Swimming Pool, where a summer ‘festival’ has been marred by underage drinking and the death of a minor.
Official sources have confirmed the death of a minor, as festivities at the Newcastle Swimming Pool spiral out of control.
SAPS spokesman, Captain Jabulani Ncube was contacted for his response, and said police teams would be dispatched to the scene. At the time of publication, a KZN Medico-legal mortuary vehicle had just managed to enter the swimming pool parking area, owing to the vast number of people openly drinking, dancing and smoking.
Deputy chairperson of the Community Policing Forum, Johan Pieters was joined by private security representatives and members of Newcastle 911. He described the scene as ‘chaos’. He urged motorists to avoid the area completely, due to a high volume of people stumbling onto the road and a mass of broken glass on the surface.
Watch below for footage from the scene:
