PRETORIA –  Convicted murderer and alleged Phoenix gang leader, Nithia Chinnasamy (48), was brutally killed in Dalpark, Brakpan, yesterday morning, after he was shot at more than 20 times outside his friend’s home, on his way back to prison from day parole.

Chinnasamy was convicted of murder of an 18-year-old in 2000 and was sentenced to ten years imprisonment. He was on the verge of being released and was on day parole when he was gunned down by two men dressed in police uniform.

Chinnasamy’s family stated that he had reformed his life in prison and was looking forward to his release to rekindle his relationship with them, however they claimed he had too many enemies to make amends.
