The fam­i­ly of a school­boy who was shot dead dur­ing a home in­va­sion in Mara­bel­la, is now liv­ing in fear as po­lice in­ves­ti­gate the killing.

Dead is Kr­is­han Khanai, who was gunned down at his fam­i­ly's Tram­line Road home late Thurs­day night. Two rel­a­tives, Kr­ish­na Khanai and Leela Pariag, were al­so shot and wound­ed dur­ing the at­tack.

A rel­a­tive, who re­quest­ed anonymi­ty out of fear for the fam­i­ly's safe­ty, de­clined to dis­cuss the in­ci­dent when con­tact­ed by Guardian Me­dia.
