21-year-old shot dead outside guesthouse
A 21-year-old man from Pretoria, Reinhard Louw, was shot dead in his vehicle outside a local guesthouse he had been staying at for the past three years.
The incident took place when the owner of the guesthouse, Nita Pienaar (63), arrived at the property in Williams Road, Beyers Park, on August 19, around 11.30am.
As she stopped inside the premises, one of her tenants, Louw, was about to drive out.
According to the Boksburg North SAPS communication officer, Capt Juanita Coetzer, Pienaar noticed a maroon Range Rover in the entrance of the driveway.
“Four men jumped out and came running towards her (Pienaar),” said Coetzer.
“The tenant (Louw) saw them and as he was about to drive off, they fired two shots at him, critically wounding him.
“While his vehicle was still busy rolling forward, the suspects pushed the woman in front of the vehicle. She landed under the vehicle and sustained injuries to her leg and head.”
The suspects fled the scene in the Range Rover before they ditched it and proceeded to commandeer at gunpoint a security vehicle which they used to continue their escape to Kempton Park taxi rank.
At the rank they left the security vehicle and jumped into a taxi. They are still at large.
The woman was transported to hospital and is stable, but the young man died at the scene.
Louw was allegedly an employee at Mercedes-Benz East Rand, in Boksburg.
The police are investigating a case of murder and hijacking.
