Initial enquiries disclosed that the victims left their place of business, a wholesale beverage depot located in Ruimveldt Gardens, at about 19:30h, and arrived home at Perseverance Housing Scheme at about 19:45h. The two male suspects then jumped the fence of the victims’ compound and attacked them,
