Bronkhorstspruit, South Africa -- "It was like a Bud Spencer movie." That's how Hester Trouw on Tuesday described the wild shoot-out between her husband and five robbers at their house in Bronkhorstspruit, in which the culprits came off second best.
One of the would-be robbers was shot dead and another wounded during a fierce struggle with her husband, Hilgrad.
