Shot his girlfriend dead with 4 rounds from a 9mm revolver whilst she came to wake him with a valentines day surprise!

Is he really that nervous that he shot his mrs down dead for waking him?? I could imagine one shot and then OH SH!T and stop, but 4 rounds on a revolver takes more thought than a reactionary attack

There was also talk that they had a tespestuous relationship but still to shoot someone dead with 4 rounds in my eyes is a callous murder.

What do you think

Unfortunately, South Africa is still a very dangerous country. Many there people still feel the need to own and carry fire arms and lock themselves behind burgler bars and high fences. If you live in that constant state of fear and carry a lethal weapon, bad things are likely to happen...accidenatlly or otherwise.

I can make these statements because I lived there for the first 34 years of my life. With that said, I never owned a fire arm, never locked myself in and never had anything bad happen to me. Since living in London I have been burgled once and had my car stolen!

Couple of my work mates had to leave SA due to what was going on out there, and they commented that you [U]need[/U] to shoot first and ask questions later or you are probably the dead one, especially if you live in a decent house etc. That's why most expensive houses have serious security fences and systems. Also, if it was dark and you couldn't identify the potential assailant, I could see how you would make sure they were down, especially when you are to an extent disabled, especially when in bed.. I think I read that one of the shots was a limb shot so the person would not have been "stopped" at that point.

I cant really comment too much cos Ive never had to live in fear like the south africans have. But I have fought in war, and I always thought it fairly easy to identify the enemy before i fired a few rounds off. Maybe thats just me tho. Like I say I dont and have never been in such a paranoid situation.

Still think 4 shots is overkill (excuse the pun) Surely he would have identified her as he pulled the trigger for the first time??

[snotvis]

Kev, i agree with you. Having had military training I too think 4 shots is extreme. But someone who is half-asleep, untrained and in a panic - different story.
It would be sad if he was found guilty...South Africa really does need positive role-models.
