Cape Town - A professional wrestler has shot his wife and then turned the gun on himself in an apparent murder-suicide, police have said.
According to the Sky Sports website, officers in Pennsylvania reported that injuries to
Charles Williams - better known as Rockin' Rebel - and his wife
Stephanie indicated he had used the firearm on them both.
According to friends, two 10-year-old children of Mrs Williams, 50, also lived at the house in the northeastern US state, but it was not clear whether Mr Williams was their father.
The 52-year-old was a well-known figure on the independent wrestling circuit, and enjoyed a successful spell with the professional promotion Extreme Championship Wrestling until 1995.
He then had a brief stint in World Championship Wrestling and took part in numerous dark matches - non-televised fights used to warm up the crowd before an actual broadcast - with the then called WWF.
Besides the 'Big 3' of rugby, cricket and soccer, which of the 'smaller' sports in South Africa do you enjoy the most?
