Teenage boy dies after being beaten by neighbours over wi-fi use
Quinton Malibe, a teenage boy who was brutally assaulted by his neighbours for using their Wi-Fi without permission, has passed away.
Quinton was caught near his neighbours’ gate using their Wi-Fi and was subsequently beaten by them. The neighbours had already opened a case against Quinton for using their Wi-Fi without permission.
Quinton was severely beaten and it was confirmed on Monday that he would remain in the ICU until his condition could be monitored and stabilised.
Matikwane Hospital confirmed that Quinton Malibe, who was admitted on Monday evening, has died. He suffered from internal bleeding, and despite the hospital’s efforts to manage his condition, he passed away on Monday evening.
His mother was advised to open a case against the neighbors, but she refused, stating, “Let it be. I cannot open a case for anyone. Let God deal with them according to His will. I live in a shack and am poor. If I open a case and start attending court with their lawyers, which I cannot afford, how will my heart be if the justice system fails me? I would rather allow the government to bury my son. We were both suffering together and I will soon meet him because I can’t live without him. His father doesn’t care; I don’t even know where he is now. I have no access to him,” said Quinton’s mother.
