The Russian Embassy in South Africa reported details of a Russian murder in Gauteng.
According to the diplomatic mission, on the evening of November 5, Anatoly Nizovtsev and his wife Elena arrived in Johannesburg. That day they drove by car towards the Kruger National Park in Mpumalanga Province. At around 22:00 local time, they made an emergency stop in Gauteng's Akandasteria area, apparently to change a tyre.
"After getting out of the car, they were attacked by unknown assailants, who robbed the couple, stole their personal belongings, and then opened fire on the man. Anatoly Nizovtsev died on the spot from his gunshot wounds. The body of the deceased was taken to the morgue," diplomats said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
The embassy stated that they expect a thorough investigation by South African law enforcement authorities into the brutal murder of Rossi in the Republic of South Africa.
