Party goer saves the day

Johannesburg - A party-goer fought back and shot dead two platneus robbers at a birthday party in Kempton Park on the East Rand.

Captain Jethro Mtshali said two men aged between 25 and 30 interrupted a family birthday party in Bredel near Kempton Park on Tuesday night.

The robbers told the family at gunpoint to raise their hands above the heads, but were not aware that one of the family members was armed.

The armed party-goer shot both robbers in the head, killing them instantly.

Police found two 9mm pistols next to the bodies of the suspects.
