The hostage drama which happened in Kempton Park today has come to a tragic end.

After eight hours of negotiations the police stormed into the house and shot the man after he failed to surrender to the police.

The house was searched and police found the body of the man’s son in the passageway, and it is believed the son died after being shot in the heart.

Neighbours have stated that the man had found that he had brain cancer and had not come to terms with it, and that is what triggered the hostage drama and the shooting.

Netcare 911 spokesman, Chris Botha said the woman is in hospital recovering and has not yet been told about the death of her son and husband.
