Sunnyridge Primary School.<\/p>\n<p>The Primrose police confirmed they were investigating a case of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>Two suspects were arrested and they appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court on March 19.<\/p>\n<p>The case was postponed to April 26 for further investigation.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>The accused, Kellyann and Rafael Daniel, denied all charges against them, claiming they were retaliating after being attacked.<\/p>\n<p>The case was postponed numerous times until it was finalised earlier this year on February 21.<\/p>\n<p>Magistrate S Isaacs found the accused not guilty on all counts.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to the GCN, the Daniel family expressed their relief over the verdict and stated it proved they were innocent all along.<\/p>\n<p>The family has allegedly laid counter charges of assault against the boys.<\/p>\n<p>Earl Wesson, father of Brandon, told the GCN they were disappointed with the verdict and their son continues to suffer from severe headaches since the incident.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>ALSO READ:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/germistoncitynews.co.za\/175853\/teenage-boys-attacked-by-two-adults\/\"
