Gunmen shot and killed their mugging victim in Alexandra, Johannesburg, took his shoes and shirt and were allegedly trying to take his pants but left them halfway down his legs before fleeing.
Residents woke up to find a body with gunshot wounds, without shoes or a shirt, at the corner of 6th Avenue and Ruth Street in Alexandra, next to Nobuhle hostel.
A hostel resident, who asked not to be named, told Sowetan they did not witness the incident but believe the man was robbed, saying violent muggings are common in the area.
