Couple killed in farm attack

2006-05-30 17:51

Bethlehem - An elderly farmer and his wife have been murdered in the Vrede district, Free State police said on Tuesday.

Superintendent Motarafi Ntepe said a shepherd looking for a lost cow found the body of Jacobus van Tonder in his bakkie at 17:00 on Monday.

The vehicle had been abandoned in the veld.

The shepherd could only notify police of the finding on Tuesday morning.

When police arrived at the farmer's home, they found Van Tonder's wife Charlotte dead in the kitchen.

"The attack could have happened over the weekend," Ntepe said.

The exact cause of their deaths was unknown.

Ntepe said it seemed that Van Tonder's firearm had been stolen.
