Age 59. The attack occurred inside the farmhouse, and his body was discovered in his bedroom late that Thursday evening at approximately 10:15 PM. The perpetrators confronted him inside the residence and shot him in the face, with forensic teams documenting a single fatal bullet wound directly beneath his right eye. After killing him, the attackers ransacked the home, forcing open a secure house safe. The exact crime scene came to light only after a neighboring farmer noticed a sudden, unmanaged veldfire burning out of control on the Oshoek property and went onto the land to assist. Upon exploring near the main house, responders found a briefcase and two DVD players discarded outside in the farmyard, which prompted them to look inside the home and discover his body.Following the immediate processing of the crime scene, the South African Police Service launched a localized investigation and quickly arrested two suspects in connection with the murder.
