Convicted murderer in the dock for club killing

Convicted murderer Jonathan Street will appear in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court on Friday for the recent murder of a young man at a sports and strip bar in Edenvale, North Rand police said.

Street was out on bail pending being sentenced for the murder of Patrick Caetano when he allegedly shot 18-year-old Kyle Norris on November 19, Superintendent Eugene Opperman said.

Norris died on the scene after being shot in the head at the Max X club.

Street allegedly also wounded three others, among them a 59-year-old man and a waitress.

Street, who has since Norris’s death been sentenced to 15 years in prison for Caetano’s murder, would be requisitioned from prison on Friday to face questioning on the Max X club incident.

He will face charges of murder and attempted murder for the November shooting.

Caetano, a bouncer belonging to the same company where Street worked, was hacked to death in December 2002.

It was reported that surveillance cameras filmed Street and another man hacking and gouging at Caetano with a butcher’s knife.

Caetano’s murder was believed to be a revenge attack after he stabbed a fellow bouncer in self-defence. — Sapa
