Hunter killed while with tourists
A professional Johannesburg game hunter was shot dead in a robbery while leading American tourists on an expedition in Mpumalanga, police spokesman Captain Leonard Hlathi said on Saturday.
The hunter, 27, from Fourways, arrived at a guest house near White River on Friday night at 7pm.
The man was accompanied by his wife and a father and son from the US, that he had taken on a hunting Safari.
The group were returning from their trip and booked in at a guest house seven kilometres away from White River.
“The husband and wife were unpacking bags from vehicles. A man emerged from the bushes and followed them to their room.
“As they entered the room, without saying a word the suspect fired a shot. He shot him in the chest and took the wife's bag and ran. The man died on the scene,” said Hlathi.
Very tragic indeed; and sad.
