“One of the suspects knocked on the window of the deceased and ordered him to ‘get out,’ ” says Ramphora.
He claims when the deceased’s wife saw the armed suspect she ran to the house to call one of her children.
“The armed suspect shot the man in his chest and shot the son (age unknown) coming from the house,” says Ramphora.
Paramedics declared the man dead on the scene and took the son, who sustained a bullet wound to his leg, to a nearby hospital for treatment.

They allegedly searched the deceased’s vehicle and only too a tablet.
Ramphora says they are not sure if both suspects were armed.
