Johannesburg – It seems implausible: one family falling victim to three horrifying, separate crimes – all on the same day. 

Trevor O’Callaghan, from Randburg, still can’t believe that his son, Joshua, was nearly killed last Friday, March 23, and he is desperate to track down the driver of a dark grey Mercedes-Benz that left the 11-year-old child for dead in the middle of the N12.

“We are not victims. We were attacked three times, but all I can say right now is how grateful I am. I am grateful my son is alive, grateful my father-in-law is alive and grateful me and my wife were not shot,” said the father.

Joshua and his grandfather, Leigh Acar, went fishing on Friday morning at a lake in Benoni. He was staying at his grandparents while his parents attended a wedding in Cape Town.
