Comment pasted from the Citizen Newspaper:
“United States Embassy spokesperson Jack Hilmer said they were aware of the shooting.
They were however not authorised to comment because Trent is a private citizen.”
Just curious as to procedure:
Does the USA never comment when their citizens are attacked / killed / robbed in foreign countries?

It is sad Ed this couple came her to help and improve South Africa he held a CEO job at a major company and even though he was not a Boer he was fair game.
