Witfield, South Africa – An attempted hijacking the Friday before last resulted in the death of one of the intruders who tried to rob a Witfield woman of her BMW vehicle.
When the BMW owner drove into her driveway at about 16:00, she was confronted by a man standing next to the driver’s window, who demanded her money and her keys. Although the man’s five male accomplices were all standing in her driveway, she refused to hand over her possessions. Then she heard a loud bang as her car window shattered and her son came out of the house and pointed a BB pistol at the suspects.
All the suspects fled the scene, except for one, who collapsed in the driveway just before making it through the electric gate. He was declared dead by SAPS officers and Emergency Services personnel when they arrived on the scene. Allegedly shot by one of his partners in crime, the man was identified as a criminal previously convicted of assault, possession of a weapon without a licence, possession of unlicensed ammunition without a licence, escaping or attempting to escape, house-breaking and robbery and assault in Boksburg North, Tembisa and Norkem Park…
