Frauenstein Cecil Nathaniel

During the incident, he was ambushed by a group of five men. The attackers mutilated him with knives and hacked him to death using a panga. CECIL FRAUENSTEIN'S last words were in Xhosa. "Ndenzeni kuni embi ndixeleleni ...What harm have I done you?" cried the 66-year-old farmer as five black teenagers finished him off with knives. His son Craig, 30, muses over his father's final sentence, heard by a farm labourer who saw the brutal killing. "He was a poor man," he says, gazing at the small plot that is part junkyard, part farm where his father was murdered last weekend. "He struggled all his life to give us an education. What is hardest for me is the way he died." The attack on Cecil Frauenstein was so vicious his nose was almost severed. "I cleaned up the blood," Craig says. He identified the body to shield his mother and twin sisters from the grim necessity.
