A MITCHELLS Plain family got the shock of their lives when they went to recover their stolen car, but were greeted by a crime scene instead after the man in possession of the Fiat Uno was shot and killed.

A 20-year-old man was murdered on Sunday morning at the corner of Stock Road and Govan Mbeki Drive near the BP Garage in Philippi East while working on the green karretjie.

The bonnet of the car was open and the man was apparently checking the engine when he was shot in the face and declared dead on the scene.

It turned out that the car was stolen the day before at Liberty Promenade Mall in Mitchells Plain.
