SHOW MAN SHOT DEAD Jun 28 2004

A BRITISH man touring with the smash hit musical Lord of the Dance has been shot dead in South Africa.

Darryl Kempster, 37, who was one of the stage crew, was gunned down by a robber during a short walk from a Johannesburg theatre to his hotel.

He was shot in the leg and chest and left to bleed to death by the gunman, who escaped with the victim's laptop.

Rest of Story here

Darryl was a close friend of mine. At the moment all we know has come from news sources and we are trying to find as much as we can until someone can find his family and we can resolve the matter. If anyone comes across any more news can they either post the link here or Pm it to me.

Thank you.

He was a good man. And for the record the laptop was a crappy old Psion. Hardly the right price for his life.
