Robbers execute white couple in 'racist attack' after teenager and his girlfriend run out of fuel and are left stranded on South African motorway
- Johanco Fleischman, 19, and girlfriend Jessica Kuhn, 23, were gunned down
- They reportedly ran out of fuel by the side of the motorway near Johannesburg
- Three men are being sought by police investigating the horrific shooting
A
white couple were gunned down by three robbers in a 'racist attack' at
the side of the road after their car ran out of fuel in South Africa.
Johanco
Fleischman, 19, and girlfriend Jessica Kuhn, 23, were executed in cold
blood as they waited on a motorway bridge for a family friend to bring
them a can of diesel to get them going.
Two
employees sitting in the back of the car with the couple were brutally
beaten by the killers but spared death and have described the horrific
double murder to shocked police in detail.
It is understood the attackers walked past the car and murmured a racial insult at Fleischman before opening fire.
Jessica Khun, 23, and Johanco Fleischman, 19, who were shot dead when their car ran out of fuel
The
two witnesses told cops the Toyota Hilux had run out of diesel on the
N12 West near Benoni some 20 miles east of Johannesburg and butcher
Johanco had called a friend for help.
As
they waited for rescue they said three men walked past the car and then
walked back hissing the word 'umhulungu' at Johanco - a derogatory
phrase for a white man.
One of the men
then pulled a revolver without warning and fired at least nine bullets,
hitting Johanco several times in the body.
As
he slumped into the road the gunman leaned into the cab and killed
Jessica with a single shot to the head, before they stealing her mobile
phone.
Then in an attempt to cover their tracks they set fire to the inside of the Toyota with a lighter.
Jessica was slumped dead in the passenger seat, Johanco on the road, and the two badly beaten workers had fled for their lives.
A passing motorist saw the truck on fire and used a fire extinguisher to put out the flames and then saw the bodies.
He called the emergency services who were quickly at the scene.
The
attack happened in broad daylight at 11am and police and medical
services were quickly there but the couple were declared dead at the
scene.
Gauteng Police Commissioner Elias Mawela has set up a specialist task team to track the three cold blooded killers.

Police
spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Lungelo Dlamini said: 'In condemning these
cold blooded murders we assure the family that all possible leads are
being followed to trace the killers.
'These
men must be considered to be armed and dangerous so if seen please
contact the police and any information that leads to the arrest of these
three killers will be rewarded' he said.
ER24
spokesman Ross Campbell of the Ambulance Service said the 19-year-old
male was outside the Toyota Hilux and had suffered multiple gunshot
wounds to the body and died instantly.
He
said the 23-year-old victim died from a single gunshot wound to the
head adding: 'Both showed no signs of life and were declared dead at the
scene. It was a terrible thing to happen.
'The
two workers who were with the couple had fled but returned when we
arrived and the South African Police Service are investigating from them
exactly what happened' he said.
The head of the Gauteng
Province Community Police Board Dr MR Patel said: 'The couple has just
driven onto the top of the off ramp at the N12 when their vehicle ran
out of fuel.
'The young man called a
family friend who is a butcher to ask for a favour to bring them a can
of diesel and he sent someone out but when he got there he found them
both dead.
'There were people already
on the scene and the two workers who were in the back when the attack
happened had returned but both been badly beaten and were severely
traumatised.
'They said the attackers
had used the word "Uhmlungu" which is a phrase of sorts for "white man"
to the driver before he started shooting but I don't think that
necessarily makes this attack racist.
'I
think these were opportunists who saw a car broken down and saw the
opportunity to rob them and it seems the driver put up a fight and after
that it just all went totally pear shaped.
The attackers were said to have walked past the car and muttered a racial slur at Johanco Fleischman
'I can see markers for 9 bullet casings near the car in photographs but there could well have been many more fired.
'We
of the GPCPB condemn this callous murder by three armed criminals and
we extend our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of this
couple in this senseless criminal incident.
'It
is deeply concerning that such a blatant and brazen act of violence
against innocents can be conducted in broad daylight by thugs and
criminal elements in our community' he said.
After the shooting it emerged Jessica had posted a pic of herself on Facebook set into her own tombstone in January.
On it she predicted her age at death as 91 but she was brutally murdered just 4 months later.
She
writes her name as Jess on her own tombstone and in her chilling
Facebook post she states that if she dies her destination will be 'Hell'
and puts a Final Wish on the marker.
It
reads beneath a photo of her on the granite slab:'When I die I want
somebody to change my status to 'Chilling with Jesus' and change my
occupation to 'Haunting All Of You'.
The
photo was posted on her Facebook page in January the month before she
met new boyfriend Johanco. It is thought he was a delivery driver at a
butchers company she worked for.
The men fired at least nine bullets, hitting Johanco several times in the body, and shot Jessica once in the head

NWN: This constant spiral of race murders against white people shows no sign of abating in South Africa. Things must be really bad, if even the Daily Mail is mentioning this situation. Perhaps if the white farmers left SA, and let them starve to death ? It's what they do best.Then SA can be a 'basket case' like the rest of Africa.

Two of the basic laws you always followed when i was in South African, always travel with twice as much fuel as you need and always keep a gun on your passenger seat or in your glove compartment.
