Mystery surrounds the death of a 37-year-old diving instructor whose charred body was found in his burnt-out rented Mercedes-Benz in Atteridgeville West, South Africa.

Spencer Stewart, 37, who had worked for a property company in London, had entered South Africa without his family's knowledge on March 3.  The secrecy surrounding his entry into the country and the way in which he died have convinced his family that he was assassinated. The family of Spencer Stewart believe that a hit was taken out on him, as he was shot once before his car was set alight while he was still inside. Spencer was murdered within hours after arriving in South Africa from London.
