    Dr Johan de Beer, 57, dermatologist, shoots dead Soyabonga Kubula, 27 in self-defence during attack at George home

    13:00 Apr 20 2012 George, Garden Route

    Description
    Dr Johan de Beer, a dermatologist living and working in the coastal resort of George, was attacked inside his home, beaten up and shot in the upper arm. His wife Leonie also was beaten and suffered facial wounds. The couple required medical treatment: a bullet was surgically removed from Dr De Beer's upper arm. The couple survived but shots were fired during the ambushand struggle which followed. One of the attackers, identified as black South African male Soyabonga Kubula, 27, was found dead just outside the De Beer home after the attack. The police are still investigating the exact circumstances.
    -----------------
    Dermatologist Dr Johan de Beer, 57, and his wife Leonie, 54, were inside their locked bedroom when they heard noises in their home at George Rex Drive, King George Park, in the Garden-Route town of George. Dr De Beer took his .375 magnum revolver, unlocked the bedroom door, and was ambushed by armed black males. They assaulted him, he fired off a shot, and killed a black male identified as Soyabonga Kubula, 27.
    Dr De Beer was bashed over the head and his face suffered fractures, he also was shot in the upper arm and a 9mm bullet was removed surgically from his arm on Friday-morning. He underwent surgery on Monday to repair the fracture-damage to his face.
    Two other black male suspects fled with Dr de Beer's revolver and other items.
    Mrs De Beer also was hospitalised for treatment of open wounds to her neck and head.

    After the ambush the couple were able to alert neighbours who contacted the SAPS. The dead man's body was found outside the De Beer home.

    The investigating officer is w/o Allie du Plessis, George detective-branch tel 044 803 4715/4

    The local policing-citizen forum recently alerted the community to two cars with identifical number plates and a large group of males cruising the streets in three Garden route towns, which police confirmed they were also investigating as these men may be involved in 'serious, violent crimes being carried out in the area at the moment.

    According to both sources, 'after the ambush' they managed to 'contact neighbours who called the police' - does that mean the neighbours just listened to the shootout without calling police? Is that normal?
