After a month of frantic searching, investigations into the disappearance of an 18-year-old boy who was abducted along Allen Street in Newcastle, are still ongoing.
Amahle Mpila was abducted on 29 April 2024, after reportedly being severely assaulted by a group of unknown suspects.
Although the details surrounding the assault remain unclear, Amahle managed to escape and was attempting to reach the Newcastle Police Station for help.
According to a report by Newcastillian News on 2 May 2024, as Amahle was making his way to the Newcastle SAPS, a vagrant encountered him and tried to assist. Despite the vagrant’s efforts, four armed men approached them on Allen Street, forced Amahle into a vehicle, and sped off.
