The 11-year-old murder victim’s mother, Anthea Visagie, is in labour giving birth to another son, while the alleged killers of her deceased son appeared in court.
Duran’s uncle, Walter Volkwyn, said that they harboured no ill feelings, just immense pain.
“People can say a lot of things… ‘listen here, maybe this is what God entails’ and sometimes you don’t want to hear that. You want answers and you want answers now.”
