Brett Kebble murdered

Controversial mining magnate and art patron Brett Kebble was shot dead around 09:00 on Tuesday on his way to a dinner engagement, his spokesperson David Barritt confirmed early on Wednesday.

Police spokesperson Superintendent Chris Wilken added that Kebble was shot in Atholl-Oaklands road, on the bridge crossing the M1 to Pretoria. "We don't know if he was led into an ambush or if he was followed," he said.

Shortly after midnight Kebble's body was still inside the car on the road. "Police are busy with a forensic investigation outside the vehicle," Wilken said. "We will be here for some time. We all know this is going to be a very sensitive case to investigate."
