Good.

“He fell on the platform and his friends left him there and ran away. He was identified by his sister who came to the scene

Seems there is no honour amongst thieves after all.

Say Craig, hows the weather in Stellies this time of year?

It's hot, first October in a few years I haven't found a pofadder at home though. But October still have quite a few days left.

These hot days you almost expect snakes.

If indeed he was in the group that terrorised people, then @&$#£ him.

Indeed. But there are so many loose ends in this story, curiosity has got me questioning some things.

“What has been established is that he was part of a group of men who were robbing people in the carriages.

“It is unclear what they stole as the individual victims have not come to our station to report what was stolen.”

He says as the group jumped out of the train at Heideveld station, someone, believed to be a passenger, stabbed the suspect in the back and he fell on the platform.

“It was as he was getting out that someone in the train stabbed him in the back.

“He fell on the platform and his friends left him there and ran away. He was identified by his sister who came to the scene.”
....
“It is also not clear where they boarded the train or whether or not they were using weapons.”

They suspect it was a passenger. But then again they could find no victims. So it may have equally been one of his mates that accidentally knifed him, say one who was just behind him on the way out when he suddenly stopped ...

I simply can't see the gang going from passenger to passenger robbing them if they weren't armed with something that posed a threat, else they would have been panel beated.

The facts are few even though there is a story here still to be told.
