2 remain in custody for beating death of Speightland man

Two persons, including a teenager, are currently in Police custody and are being questioned in relation to the murder of construction worker Kevin Surfin, of Speightland, Linden, who was tragically beaten to death during a birthday party.
Police reported that the incident took place on Thursday last in Speightland village, Lower Kara Kara, Linden. An eyewitness had reported that on the day in question at about 05:00h, she left the now dead man with a group of his friends as she went to purchase cigarettes.

However, upon her return just five minutes later, she was met with a distressing scene; a group of about 15 persons, three of whom she could identify, had attacked Surfin.
During the altercation, Surfin managed to evade his assailants by leaping into a nearby creek. He emerged from the water with what appeared to be blood on his body and then collapsed to the ground.
He was subsequently transported to the Linden Hospital Complex, where he was sadly pronounced dead upon arrival.
An examination of Surfin’s body revealed a small wound in the region of his heart and a bruise above his left eye, underscoring the brutality of the attack.
Prior to the current arrests, several individuals had been taken into custody and interrogated but were later released. The Police are diligently continuing their investigation into the tragic incident, seeking to uncover the full details and bring justice to the situation.
