A father of a two year old daughter was shot and killed in cold blood on March 2, 2015 at about 09:00, in front of the Pretoria Chicken & Meat Butchery in Pretoria West.
Louis du Toit (29) was apparently on his way to the bank to deposit the money of the store, when two men overpowered him outside the butchery.
Apparently they did not say a word, they allegedly just shot him.
The attackers fled with R140 000.00 in a green Volkswagen Golf.
The police gave chase and fired at the suspects, but on Monday afternoon it was still unclear whether the killers were captured.
According to Pieter Swanepoel, a director of the butchery, du Toit was killed instantly.
A number of shocked employees of the butchery were on the scene.
Du Toit’s wife, Antoinette, started crying hysterically when she saw her husband’s body on the pavement in front of the store. His colleagues prevented her from going to her husband, and carried her away from the scene. According to Swanepoel she was in severe shock.
Tshwane metro police, the police and ADT security agency were also on the scene.
