Wife Speaks Out as Shallcross Shooting Victim Battles for Recovery in Hospital
The wife of a Shallcross father allegedly shot nine times says her family's ordeal is far from over as her husband continues battling for recovery in hospital.
On 17 June, the Chatsworth Magistrate's Court denied bail to two of the accused linked to the attempted murder of 43-year-old Muhammad Abdul Kadir. The matter has been postponed to 24 June.
Speaking to the Merebank and Chatsworth Tabloid, Aakifa Kadir said she is relieved that the accused remain behind bars but fears for her family's safety.
💬 "I am trying to be strong for my children, but it is very difficult. Every day is filled with uncertainty and fear," she said.
Muhammad, a father of four, was allegedly ambushed outside his flat in Alpine Drive, Shallcross, on 31 May and sustained multiple gunshot wounds to his head, chest, arms and legs.
He has since been transferred to King Edward VIII Hospital for specialist treatment after suffering severe facial injuries.
