Mining magnate Brett Kebble, who was shot dead in Johannesburg in September, was probably hit by rare, "low velocity" bullets used by bodyguards and anti-terrorist operatives, the Sunday Times reported. The newspaper said an autopsy performed three days after the murder found that the muzzle of a gun was rammed into Kebble's jaw with such force that it had produced a deep black bruise and "contusions". "The bullets were probably a rare, 'low velocity' type used by bodyguards and crack security operatives," the newspaper said. "Experts said the purpose of this type of bullet - which requires a specially adapted pistol - was to hit assassins and terrorists without passing through their bodies and hitting bystanders or hostages."
Kebble's body was found slumped in the driver's seat of his Mercedes in the suburb of Melrose around on September 27, about 400 metres from a road where at least one gunman shot him through an open window. The bullets were "full copper jacket" 9mm projectiles.
