Reading Time: < 1 minute

Three men are Monday morning expected to appear at the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court for the murder of Heather Peterson.

Peterson was fatally shot in Westbury, Johannesburg, in September in a suspected gang related incident.

The suspects made a brief appearance last week before their case was postponed.

Peterson was shot and killed after she and her 10 year-old niece were caught in the crossfire of gang violence in Westbury.

Her death sparked a wave of violent protests with residents complaining about corrupt police officers, crime and drug related violence.

Police Minister Bheki Cele has since instituted a Tactical Response Team in the area.
