Bloemfontein - Three Free State men were shot execution
style during a robbery attempt near Welkom, Free State police said on Friday.
Two more people managed to flee the scene during the
crime on Thursday night, police spokesperson Mamello Macheoane said.
One of the two was seriously wounded, and taken to a
Bloemfontein hospital.
The fifth man, who escaped unharmed, notified Bronville
police.
Police said the five were apparently on their way to
collect scrap metal near the Welkom mines.
Two armed men approached them, ordered them to lie down
and demanded money.
When they could not provide cash, the men shot each of
the victims in the back of the head.
Police have offered a R50 000 reward for information
leading to the arrest of the two attackers.
