High profile political figures were in the cross hairs of Cloete and Thomas Murray – a father and son team who worked on some of the country's most contentious insolvency cases – and were both gunned down in a brazen hit on Saturday afternoon.

Numerous shots were also fired through the windscreen.

Murray had purchased the vehicle after his beloved Land Cruiser was stolen last year.
