Johannesburg - A 55-year-old man was shot and killed by
three armed men who stormed his employers' house in Krugersdorp's Monument
suburb on Wednesday morning, West Rand police said.
The gunmen shot the helper, tied his two employers up and
made off with an undisclosed amount of money taken from a safe, spokesperson
Constable Sefako Xaba said.
"They gained entry into the property by breaking the locked
chain at the gate. They then shot the helper and robbed his employers."
The three fled the house on foot and police were searching
for them.
Netcare 911's Nick Dollman said the victim - who was shot
in the head and chest - was already dead when paramedics arrived at the
scene.
