The still night air was abruptly broken by a roaring sound. Georgina turned around and saw headlights approaching. It was the Chrysler, veering across the road towards them. Twelve-year-old Therese, who was walking right at the road's edge, also spun around. Look out, she cried, before jumping out of the car's path.

It barely missed her, and Therese felt a gust of wind hit her as the vehicle passed. Then it struck Georgina and Maureen head on. Georgina was thrown into the ditch that ran alongside the road. Maureen bore the brunt of the impact as the vehicle hit her left leg and broke both of its major bones. The force of the hit had also broken the car's radiator grille.

Maureen was tossed onto the bonnet and stayed there, bleeding profusely as the driver continued to speed ahead. He made a sharp turn as they reached an intersection about 100 metres up the road and Maureen finally fell from the bonnet onto the ground. Georgina Pittman was in a daze down the road looking for her shoes. She had no idea what had happened.

She only knew that her feet were bare for some reason. Georgina didn't realise that her dress was also torn and she'd sustained deep cuts to her head and back which were now bleeding. Mum, mum, Georgina desperately called as she walked in circles. Therese Zagami had escaped injury but was terrified that the driver would return.

She began running towards home, which was up ahead in the direction they'd been walking. Therese stayed low and away from the road to hide from their attacker. As she reached the top of the hill, she came across her cousin Maureen lying bleeding in the middle of the road. Therese ran over to her, asking, Maureen, are you alright? There was no answer.

Realising her cousin must be dead, Therese's fear intensified and she kept running towards home, which was only about another hundred metres away. Therese's parents were out, but her aunt lived next door. Therese banged on her front door, screaming. It was deliberate. It was deliberate.

Just as Therese was raising the alarm, two patrol officers passing through the area stumbled across Maureen's body. She still had a pulse. They soon found Georgina as well. The girls were rushed to hospital. Maureen needed emergency surgery on her left leg. Her left cheekbone was also fractured and she was entirely covered in bruises.

Georgina had a concussion and several deep gashes that needed stitches. All three girls were left with severe mental and emotional trauma. At the scene of the crime, police recovered a small piece of the car's radiator grille that had been broken during the hit and run. The Chrysler itself was found just before 7 the following morning of Saturday May 21 2021.
