Pilot dies crashing plane on club hosting baby shower in bid to kill wife

Charl Viljoen and wife

A pilot, Charl Viljoen, has died after crashing a plane into a club in Botswana in an apparent bid to kill his wife after they had an argument.


Viljoen was reported to have stormed out of the clubhouse where his wife was attending a baby shower before stealing a small aircraft.

He allegedly made a number of threatening fly-pasts and a menacing phone call to someone at the club, prompting guests to flee for safety.

Footage showed the plane flying barely above the ground before it crashed into the venue near Mochudi, Botswana, close to the country’s border with South Africa, reports Daily Mail.
