Robbers have shot and killed a Vanderbijlpark father in front of his 18-year-old son at the family's home.
Forty-two-year-old Bertus Coetzee arrived home at 10pm on Monday night, and his son Flippie opened the garage door so he could park his bakkie inside.
According to Warrant Officer Kinnie Steyn of the Vanderbijlpark police, two armed men threatened Coetzee and held him at gunpoint when he got out of the vehicle.
They took his keys, shot him in the chest, and fled the scene in a Volkswagen Polo, taking only the bakkie keys and Coetzee's work bag.
Coetzee's sister, Belinda Muller, said they suspect his death might have had something to do with information he had about cable theft in the area.
