About Sarel Pretorius

Sarel Pretorius (1952 – 2013)

Brief overview:

Sarel (61) was home with his wife, Anna-Marié, when a white Toyota bakkie arrived. Two men who had stolen the vehicle and a firearm from a neighbouring district – climbed out. A handgun was immediately drawn. .
Sarel was held at gunpoint on the stoep, and when he attempted to slip into the house behind the security door, he was shot dead through it. The killers, who were apparently linked to an armed robbery and had escaped from custody in the Western Cape, got away with cash and another handgun.
