Uwe Gemballa, founder of Gemballa Automobiletechnik, was killed in 2010 after landing in South Africa.

Two of the three men who killed German luxury car dealer and Czech fugitive Radovan Krejčíř’s associate, Uwe Gemballa, more than a decade ago lost in their attempt to be freed.

Thabo Mohapi and Garlond Holworthy were convicted for the murder of Gemballa but still claim their innocence.

In 2013, Mohapi and Holworthy killed Gemballa after intercepting him at OR Tambo International Airport.

Their co-accused Thabiso Mpye, who had entered into a plea agreement with the State, admitted to the crime and was sentenced before the trial started.
