One of the bullets that tore through the Toyota Prado of Cloete and Thomas Murray shattered the rear window and entered through the back of the driver's side head rest, one of at least eight expertly placed shots that ultimately claimed the life of one of the country's most feared corruption busters and his son.
At least eight more shots were fired at the car just after 14:00 on Saturday – entering through the rear door, the pillar between the driver's door and the rear door, the driver's side window, and what appears to be one stray shot through the roof.
Thomas Murray, 28, was declared dead at the scene on Saturday afternoon. Cloete would die later at Netcare Sunninghill Hospital after being placed on life support, surrounded by his family. At least nine shots were fired at their car from inside another vehicle that is believed to have pulled up next to the Murrays, firing shots in quick succession just after the New Road offramp on the N1 North.
