April’s litany of farm attacks in South Africa includes four murders: A 54 year-old man shot to death, a mother and her adult son beaten to death with blunt instruments, and a 78 year-old wheelchair bound man strangled to death. He was in a wheelchair because of a previous attack 20 years ago.
A 78-year-old farmer fatally shot one of two attackers in Bishopstowe, outside of Pietermaritzburg, in the kwaZulu Natal province.
Reports say the farmer was attacked while working on a vehicle. When one of the attackers attempted to stab the farmer during a scuffle, the elderly man managed to fire the shot that ended one of the attacker’s life.
