CAPE TOWN - The Manenberg Community Policing Forum (CPF) has welcomed the arrest of three suspects linked to the murder of five-year-old Ameer Abrahams.
The little boy was hit in the head by a stray bullet while walking with his father on Monday and died in hospital on Wednesday.
Two women were also caught in the crossfire while sitting in front of a house on Irvine Street.
The trio was nabbed on Tuesday and expected to appear in court soon.
Manenberg CPF chairperson Vernon Visagie has praised the police for the swift arrests.
"We as the CPF want to commend them for their work, and we are saying to the community, 'don't stop giving us the information because it is necessary to bring suspects to book'."
Visagie said they won't stop until Ameer's family gets justice.
"It needs to stop somewhere, and we cannot condone these senseless acts because this cannot become a norm in our community."
