Robbery victim shoots attacker
July 21 2005 at 08:14PM

A Johannesburg tourist shot and killed a gangster when he and four others attacked her and three relatives on Palm Beach, near Ramsgate on the KwaZulu-Natal south coast, this week.

The woman was with relatives on the beach on Monday when a five-member gang wielding knives confronted the group.

Two of the men turned on the woman while the other three attacked the other three members of the family.

The woman took out her gun from her handbag and fired two shots at the men attacking her. The gang then ran off.

The next day the body of a 22-year-old man was found with a bullet wound behind the left ear near Mpenjati Nature Reserve.
