reports that Darshan was involved in an argument with a man, who hit him on the head.

Darshan’s mother Latchmie said she was still holding on to hope that her son’s killer would be found. She stated that it was hard moving on with life knowing that she will never again see her son.

Darshan, 24, was found in his motor vehicle PRR 4834 on the Strathspey Railway Embankment, ECD, with a suspected gunshot wound to the head around 22:50 hours on March 29.

A group of men living in the neighbourhood had told his relatives that sometime after 10pm he had received a call from a person who wanted to be picked up.

A post-mortem examination revealed that the Logwood, Enmore resident died as a result of haemorrhage and shock due to gunshot wounds.
