Man gunned down in own driveway
A man was shot and left for dead in his driveway in Sterrewag on Tuesday evening by a group of armed robbers. He succumbed to his injuries and died in hospital on Wednesday.
A 58-year-old man, Michiel Loubser, was overpowered and shot in his driveway on Tuesday night in Sterrewag by an unknown number of armed robbers.
It is believed Loubser was busy off-loading items from his vehicle after he arrived at home. It is suspected that he tried to run inside the house when he saw the unknown men entering his premises.
According to Captain Colette Weilbach, the spokesperson for the Brooklyn police station, the man’s domestic worker reported that she had heard a noise and went to investigate. She saw that the gate was open and when she went closer, she saw the owner of the house lying on the pavement in a pool of blood.
It appears that the suspects shot the owner of the house in his legs when he tried to run away. Several items were stolen from the house before they fled.
The police and the emergency services were called and the wounded man was taken to hospital, where he passed away in the early hours of Wednesday morning. The Brooklyn police are investigating cases of murder and house robbery. No arrests have been made.
