The body of 21-year-old Paul Peters, of East Ruimveldt Front Road, was fished out of the Laing Avenue canal yesterday morning after it surfaced and was observed by residents in the immediate vicinity. The man’s lower back bore a gunshot wound.
Police were contacted and scores of residents converged to get a glimpse of the body, many in an effort to ascertain the individual’s identity. After several hours the body was eventually pulled from the waterway and removed by personnel from the Lyken Funeral Parlour.
