2010-10-20 Llewelyn Bond (17) killed ; brother Christopher critically shot by gang, Pinetown

PINETOWN, KwaZulu – The SAPS arrested one robber and a purchaser of a blue Toyota Yaris stolen in Pinetown during an armed attack against the Bond family, during which unarmed matric-pupil Llewelyn Bond (17) was shot dead with one bullet in the head. His brother Christopher, 21, shot in the stomach is in critical condition at hospital. Pinetown SAPS spokesman Lt col Vincent Mdunge said they found the stolen car before the purchaser could sell it on to a second buyer for only R3,000. They are still searching for three other armed robbers and another buyer. Young Llewelyn was standing in front of his home in Pinetown, talking to his girlfriend, when four armed men with handguns stormed into the house where the rest of the family was sitting in the living room. The gunmen demanded the keys to the family car. Llewelyn’s older brother Christopher, 21, was shot in the stomach. The gang fled in the family’s bakkie and their Yaris. Llewelyn was a matric pupil at the Afrikaans Gelofte Skool and was shot dead only a day after the matric’s graduation party. “ It’s tragic the way the mood of a school can make an 180-degree turn within just 24 hours, said headmaster Danie Strydom in an interview with a Durban radio station. http://www.beeld.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Gewilde-matriekseun-in-huisrooftog-doodgeskiet-20101021
