I witnessed the mugging while walking up Milton Rd about a block behind the students. I didn't see the getaway car, which was parked in Irwell, but according to other witnesses it was a Golf 3, or Jumbo - the next shape up from the Citi Golf. The muggers were 2 very dark guys - I don't think they looked South African, one significantly taller than the other, and there seems to have been a driver waiting in the car too. Some young guys on the scene said they've seen the car cruising Obs a lot in recent weeks and have witnessed at least one other mugging by the same perps in the same way. I gave all this info to the police but advise that anyone who sees this car, or anything like it with 2 or 3 occupants, notifies the Sector Police. Molly
