SINCE January, at least seven people were killed and about four others injured in separate shootings in Estcourt. Saihesh Chandrakassi, a fitter for Nestlé, was one of the victims.
The 32-year-old was shot and killed while reversing out of his driveway in Mkamba Park on February 8, moments after celebrating his daughter’s birthday.
His passenger, Shanal Ramsaran, 40, sustained multiple gunshot wounds and is in a stable condition in hospital.
Chandrakassi lived with his mother. He had two children who live in Estcourt with their maternal grandmother.
Kavisha Chandrakassi said she had last spoken to her brother earlier that day.
