About Peter Granat

Peter Granat (1956 - 2010)

Brief overview:

Peter (54), Managing Director of AutoZone, was found in a dark alley in Parkwood, Johannesburg with a single bullet wound to his head, on the night of 29th March 2010.

Police believe that Peter was lured into the alley between Bolton and Wells streets by attackers in an Audi at around 22h30. Spokeswoman Captain Cynthia Magoai confirmed fake police blue lights formed part of the investigation, but said it could not be confirmed whether they were used.

It was initially suspected that Peter's murder was a botched hijacking by a blue-light gang posing as police officers, but witnesses who attended the scene are adamant the murder was the work of professional hitmen.

A special police task team was formed.
