We are investigating a case of attempted murder where a man was attacked while he was having sex in a car with his girlfriend at around 7.30 pm at a bushy area which is between Hyde Park Shops and Nkulumane complex. He was robbed of his Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and cash, all valued at US$5 300. We would like to urge community members not to indulge in sex in the bush because it’s illegal and dangerous, she said
