Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>A man, who was trying to raise the alarm after seeing robbers rob an Asian-owned grocery shop, was shot dead by the thieves.<\/b><\/p>\n

The incident took place on Wednesday around 8pm at Two Sticks, Zakhele in Manzini, and the robbers (three) went away with a sum of E3 900 and the businessman\u2019s car, which was, however, found abandoned at Ngwane Park. According to a source close to the matter, three armed men stormed the grocery shop when it was about to close for the day (Wednesday) at around 8pm and held the businessman, a relative and some customers at gunpoint and demanded money.<\/p>\n

He said the robbers threatened to shoot the businessman, and his relative if they failed to cooperate. Thereafter, he said they ordered them to kneel on the floor and face down. He said one of them searched for money from the cashier machine, while the other kept a close eye on the businessman and his relative. After that, he said a man who resides opposite the grocery shop, came in together with a young boy. He said after seeing that the shop was under attack, they ran out. As the man was raising the alarm outside, the source said the robbers quickly collected the money and other items and fled. However, he said one of the robbers spotted him and ran after him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe fired two gunshots at him and one hit him in the upper body,\u201d the source said. Thereafter, he said the robbers used the businessman\u2019s car, a Nissan Serena, to flee the scene. He said the police were called and the shot man was rushed to the Raleigh Fitkin Memorial (RFM) Hospital and was certified dead upon arrival. Deputy Police Information and Communications Officer Inspector Nosipho Mnguni confirmed the robbery and that a man was shot dead. She also confirmed that the businessman\u2019s car was recovered yesterday morning. It is worth noting that about a fortnight ago, three armed men robbed Tandoori Express at Manzini Bus Rank at around 7:30pm and they went away with about E19 000. Three gunshots were fired, but no one was injured.<\/p>\n
