"I THOUGHT he was a baboon," that is what a white South African farmer told the police after shooting dead a Zimbabwean worker in Musina, just along the border with Zimbabwe.
Evil Jewell Crossberg not only shot Jealous Dube of Mberengwa but went on to lie to the cops about the circumstances of his death, it was revealed in court.
South Africa Police Services’ Limpopo Provincial Police spokesperson, Senior Superintendent Motlasalaphela Mojapelo said Dube was shot dead on Tuesday morning, apparently after a row.
Crossberg has appeared in court and was bailed out for R8 000. South African prosecutors will tell the court when the trial opens that after committing the murder, Crossberg proceeded to Musina police where he reported he had shot Dube after mistaking him for a BABOON.
"The deceased was shot under his left armpit by his employer, Mr Jewell Crossberg on Tuesday at around 0730 am using a 20.38 special revolver. He (Crossberg) hid the body at his farm after which he rushed to Musina Police station where he made a report alleging that he shot the deceased after mistaking him for a baboon", Supt Mojapelo told the Chronicle newspaper.
A police probe later left the police convinced that Crossberg deliberately shot at Dube. Eyewitnesses told the police the two had a misunderstanding which culminated in Crossberg pulling his gun and taking aim at the Zimbabwean.
OK, Crossberg...off to the sensitivity gulag with you!
I hope Barbara Walters covers this. I just want to hear her say "Zimbabwean".
Ain't 'a gonna say it ... wouldn't be prudent ...
Hell, I thought Crossberg's first name "Evil", not Jewell. LOL
"Evil Jewell Crossberg not only shot Jealous Dube..."
From the story as written, the perp's name could be "Evil Jewell Crossberg", which would be a really cool name for a bad guy to have, I think.
Is Evil a name or an adjective?
Beats the heck out of me.
"Evil Jewell Crossberg not only shot Jealous Dube of Mberengwa but went on to lie to the cops about the circumstances of his death, it was revealed in court."
Well, if it isn't his name those local journalists are editorializing more than the delightful and ever insightful Dan Rather.
Crossberg, Stills, Nash and Dube.
You know what I'm thinking!
I'm not sure. Perhaps you are thinking of the Dube Brothers?
It all sounds reasonable to me...
The author of this article is the one, the only, Mr. Staff Reporter. E-mail Staff and tell him that you don't appreciate his editorializing. Tell him you get enough of that here in the U.S.
Is RatherBiased still in Iraq? And is he in one piece?
I'd trust any feller named "Evil," that's for sure.
LOL Good catch!
The headline should be: Evil Shot Jealous
Evil Jewell Crossberg
Interesting name.
