A 73-year-old British engineer has been strangled to death with his own belt in his driveway after popping down to the pub for a beer.

Retired expat Karl Lauks was said to be the “life and soul” of his adoptive town of Tulbagh 70 miles north of Cape Town, in South Africa.

On Sunday evening after visiting his local watering hole he went back home.

But after parking his car in the drive he was attacked before he could get out from behind the wheel.

Lauks was battered into submission and his leather belt taken off him.

The AC/DC enthusiast started work in Western Province over 20 years ago, but fell in love with South Africa’s fourth oldest town and never returned home.
