Social media followers of a former Durban Youth Radio presenter Andy Kerr have expressed their disbelief over his arrest for the death of his mother last week.

Kerr appeared at the Verulam Magistrate’s Court on Monday and remains in custody.

He and his mom, Dawn Millar Kerr lived in a communal housing room in Hazelmere and neighbours became worried when the 72-year old woman seemed to have disappeared.

Following a tip-off by his neighbours, paramedics from the security company Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) entered the room.

They apparently found her decomposing body on a bed and Kerr apparently told them that she had died of natural causes.

Residents told RUSA that Kerr did not inform anyone of his mother’s death and that he allegedly stayed with her body for three nights.

It’s believed that he provided differing accounts of what happened to those who were first on the scene.

A close friend of Kerr's who did not want to be named said that he had recently mentioned that his mother was ill.

“I did not ask anything further even when he started losing weight drastically.”

The friend said it was unimaginable that Kerr could’ve been responsible for his mom’s death.

“I did not want to believe it because he had recently found spirituality,” the friend said.

He said he had met Kerr through social media and they messaged each other on current affairs topics because they were both into media.

“He was very welcoming towards me and he was the same to everyone else because we have the same social circle. Everyone loves him that is why people are so shocked on Facebook and TikTok about the news.”

The friend said that Kerr often posted about his mom on social media but was also known for keeping his problems to himself.

In a statement published on RUSA's Facebook page, it says that Kerr told those who arrived there first that she had died of natural causes.

He then provided differing accounts of what happened and when questioned said that she was visiting him for two weeks but actually lived in a home at South Beach in Durban that specialises in frail care.

KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda said that the circumstances that led to her death formed part of a police investigation.

Spokesman for the provincial department of social development Mhlaba Memela said they were concerned about the level of abuse and atrocities faced by the elderly.

Memela emphasised that everyone had a responsibility to protect the aged and that they should be treated with respect, proper care and be safe.

Kerr is expected to appear in court for a bail hearing on Monday.

National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Natasha Ramkisson-Kara confirmed that Kerr had been charged with murder.

He looks like a mentally deranged person. Apparently he should have started feeding on the same. South Africa is as doom as soddom.
When I visited 2018, at the airport they refused me taking pictures of there so called pastor. I didn't spend up to 11 days in tourism. Each moment I take a walk around the city, I feel unsafe where those black tacky looking hungry boys are roaming around to steal from a moving truck or disposses tourist off there belongins. If u hesitate they will use bricks or knife or even gun to attack the victim. I ran because its not a country to live comfortably in unless you have a very strong business.

Uhmmm weird

Why do I feel like somehow Nigerians would be roped in this

Lol, i knew this was coming even though the murderer in this case is white - somehow blacks will be the ones dragged by Nigerian white worshippers.

Just today your white god🇳🇬 Werner de Jager appeared in court for murderizing his pastor wife. She was found outside her home after her morning jog with cuts and strangulation marks on her neck.

ALSO

On Sunday, a white student raped & killed his teacher Kirsten Kluyts while she was jogging in Johannesburg.

You gonna blame blacks for that too?

Who is interested in whites that speaks language that doesn't sound like English nor French. Very useless Afrikaans accent. I rather speak zulu than. Isreal adesanya asked SA MMa about his origin. That's not racist, it's the fact these whites don't really know their backgrounds bur alas they screw the black sa ass 🤣

The xenophobic country that are full of gang affiliated

Nigerians disappointed he's white

Useless country

NFBI:
Useless country

I wonder what that makes Nigeria which is 250 million times worse than SA

You were even lucky. A friend of mine was robbed by an armed police man in the toilet at Johannesburg airport on his way back to Nigeria after attending a conference in Pretoria. It seems there are gangs at jo'burg airport targeting especially Nigerians. Maybe because our people like to carry cash or just pure hatred or jealousy, an attitude that's common towards Nigerians across Africa. There was a case of a Nigerian who was trailed upon arrival at that airport and killed at the reception of a hotel in jo'burg. Nigeria is way far better than SA in terms of personal safety.

Thamsanqa trolling again.

The woman likely died of natural causes. The man deserves a prison sentence, no doubt. Three months for not reporting the death or her condition preceding it. She may have tired of life and begged him to let her die.

There is always a 95 percent possibility that it is a male child that is the culprit when you hear of children k!lling thier parents. It's mostly the son you hear causing havoc and destruction in families.

Yet one mumu in another thread was praying he never has a daughter. May no girl child be unfortunate enough to call him father..

So did you post this because the murderer is white? Because you're trying to make it seem like whites commit more crimes than black? I thought you only post positive stuff about SA ?

This are genuine questions
