Why did they have to shoot him he was tied up
I met him on more than one occasion and saw most of his productions.
My condolences to his family may he rest in peace.
Yet again we lose someone talented to mindless violence.

Senseless.

So much damn violence

Sad news - heard about it on 702 this morning.

If the media reports are correct (which is not always the case) - then why did he open his front door ?

I am assuming that the robbers obtained access through the opened front door.

If I hear my door bell ringing at 2345 - I won't open it .

Condolences to his loved ones

Apparently they were followed home from some even they attended. *shrug*

I am shocked, it seems that some people think they can do as they wish and nothing will happen to them, often people that do things like this will justify their actions to take away the guilt, sadly they are only fooling themselves

Something very odd about this whole affair ... why would anybody open his door to strangers at that time of the night , even he can't be that dumb ???.

Also rather unusual for the local gangsters in Athlone to wear skimask's ... they are not that usually bright when they are high on dagga and tik and need to rob for drug money.

Also taking him to another room and then killing him and leaving the rest of the family unharmed seems like a hit to me.

There is more to this story I reckon.

Should add all these names to the [-]wailing wall[/-] Memorial Wall. They fought for freedom.

It does seem quite suspicious.

Condolences to the Petersen family.Eish, All the good go first and we left with the bad ones.

Reminds me of the editors son being killed.

Murdered after frantic call to wife Dec 08 06

Saddening news indeed. Either this was some kind of planned hit, or else it was a bunch of foreigners. Taliep was a known figure in the community and I doubt that local gangs would've done something like that.

 

[(DmZ)Wrecky]

Who is next?

 

[happygolucky]

I think it is very tragic!!! What are our security(police) doing about it? Can we even trust our police because more and more stories we are hearing where the police are involved. Who can you trust? I hope they catch the perpertrator!!!!!!!!
My condolences to his family.

 

[Skeptik]

We will probably see the emergence of more vigilante groups and more citizen mob justice.

They arrested a PAGAD connected guy the other day with some pipe bombs in his car. I wonder where he was headed?

 

[kilo39]

One small plus: he wasn't tortured for hours.

 

[Bageloo]

When I saw the high walls and the electric fence on the TV news, my thoughts were that was a targeted hit disguised as a robbery. My brother in law agreed. He is a detective.

 

[MyDraadloos]

I was not a fan of his work, but he made other people happy.

Music sooths the savage beast ......... or not.
