Major Geoff Freind, 60, was attacked over the weekend as he walked between his hotel and a shopping centre.

He was left with critical injuries and was transferred to a South African hospital for specialised care.

“The Salvation Army is deeply saddened and greatly concerned for the wellbeing of Major Geoff Freind,” Venables said.

“Geoff is a well known personality. Energetic, passionate and very warm in nature and drawn to people in his network of ministry right across Perth.”

Major Venables asked for prayers for Major Freind.

Which hotel was this at? Have the police been able to find who did this? Is there an investigation in progress? Can we be sure that the police will do all they can to get to the bottom of this so that we know it wont be happening again? What is the outcome of this terrible incident?
