A Singapore-born British doctor was fatally shot during a protest in South Africa.
Teoh Kar Hao, a 40-year-old consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon at Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, was shot dead in front of his wife and two-year-old son on Aug 3. The family was on holiday in South Africa.
Teoh had reportedly made a wrong turn while driving from Cape Town International Airport which led him to an area where a demonstration by taxi drivers was taking place.
Caught in the crossfire, Teoh was fatally shot at around 12.30am Singapore time, reported Zaobao.
South African police said that Teoh died with a gunshot wound to the head. His wife and child were sent to a hospital for treatment and investigations are still ongoing.
South African officials reported that Teoh was one of five casualties who died during the strike on the same day.
The South African police said that no arrests have been made over his death.

SA government will end up rounding up a few petty criminals who haven't paid protection fees to the local popo, claim they have the murders dead to rights, and quietly toss them in jail for the next few decades.

The doublespeak is getting out of hand. First large scale arson and looting was a ‘protest', now gunfights are a ‘protest'. I wonder when the protest in Ukraine is going to end?
