Brief overview:

Andries (45), and Fatima Green were attacked on a smallholding in Marabeth, Tarlton, in the district of Krugersdorp. Andries died of bullet wounds inflicted during the attack.

Andries had been requested to come to the property in order to repair a vehicle which had an ignition problem. It would appear that the deceased was something of a handyman.
