“The motive of the violence is unknown, although a 10-year-old survivor has told the police that the suspect stated that he was stabbing them because they supported Palestine. The man also allegedly threatened to rape the little girl. Police investigations continue.”ALS Paramedics spokesperson Garrith Jamieson said its personnel arrived at a “horrific scene” at the house.
He said Hoosen-Preston’s husband and son were found with multiple stab wounds to their body, adding: “Both were in a critical condition and required multiple advanced life-support techniques to stabilise them on the scene before they were rushed to a nearby hospital for the urgent care that they required.
In the video, the suspect asks the man whether the teenager and his father were still alive. He adds that Hoosen-Preston “hates my family” and that “she and her family thought that it was entertaining that my cousins were killed in Israel … she thought that was funny”. “In this highly charged environment, we call for calm from all communities so that justice can prevail.”
