Rugby star who killed daughter escapes prosecution

Former Springbok rugby star Vleis Visagie who accidentally shot dead his teenage daughter thinking she was a car thief is not to face charges.

“We are of the view Mr Visagie has suffered a great deal and the pain of losing his daughter would be worsened by the fact that his hand was instrumental in taking that life,” said National Prosecuting Authority spokesman Makhosini Nkosi.
