TimesLIVE reports that a well-known Dobsonville doctor has died after being shot during a robbery at his practice in Soweto, Johannesburg.

The GP, identified as Dr Michael Isabelle, was wounded on Saturday afternoon when three suspects entered the surgery under the pretense of needing medical assistance for their friend. “Once the receptionist let them inside the consultation room, they shot the doctor. They stole two cellphones before fleeing the scene. The victim was taken to the nearest medical care centre,” police spokesperson Col Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi reported. A case of attempted murder was opened, but Nevhuhulwi said the charge would change to murder as the victim succumbed to his injuries.
