Venezuelan sisters- Evelyn Alfonso, 22, and Roxanna Alfonso, 20, and their two 14 and 16-year-old sisters, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were not required to plea when they appeared before City Magistrate Clive Nurse. The charge alleged that on January 28, 2022, they attempted to murder the teen.
The 22 and 20-year-old women were remanded into custody. However, their younger siblings were remanded to the Sophia Juvenile Holding Centre.
