A German tourist has been brutally shot dead in an attempted car-jacking in South Africa's Kruger National Reserve.
Retired Human Resources director Joerg Schnarr, 67, who worked for a church organisation, was killed in cold blood but his wife Vera and close friends Reiner and Andrea Nuchter survived.
The four friends from the city of Fulda in central Germany had landed earlier yesterday at Johannesburg and were driving to their lodge in the game reserve.
