Armed robbers shot and killed a Russian tourist on a highway in South Africa, and injured his wife. This was reported to RIA Novosti at the Russian Embassy in the Republic of South Africa.
According to preliminary data, the couple stopped to change a flat tire. At that moment they were attacked. After the massacre, unknown persons stole the belongings of the Russians.
The rescue forces claim that the attackers could have scattered sharp objects on the road in advance to cause a flat tire.
The victim's wife is currently staying in a hotel in Pretoria with an injury to her left eye. The woman was given consular assistance.
