HIJACKERS shot a man in the head and pistol-whipped his female companion before throwing the couple down a slope on Tafelberg Road in Cape Town, a few metres from the Table Mountain cableway station in the early hours of Sunday. Police said the couple Maria Beukes, 37, and her companion known only as Johnny had been ordered out of their Opel Astra at 12.30am by two armed men. Police spokesman Captain Dyson Jacobs said on Monday the car was found gutted near Cape Town International Airport. He said police are considering installing CCTV cameras at remote spots such as Signal Hill where a number of couples have been robbed and had their vehicles hijacked. Traut appealed to people to exercise caution when they visited such places — even in the daytime.
