Brief overview:

Bill (85), a retired egg farmer, was shot dead on his smallholding in the small farming community of Cradock near Pietermaritzburg, on 12th December 2020.

His wife had gone shopping, and upon her return she heard a gunshot from inside the house. She found him lying next to his vehicle, still with the keys in his hand.

"According to a close source, the man who is in his 80s, was shot dead at his gate where he lived near Albert Falls Dam, outside Pietermaritzburg. “It’s another farm murder,” said the angry source who lives nearby and had been to the scene. He told The Witness that the man and his wife used to farm eggs but had sold the property three to four years ago but still lived there. His wife was unharmed."
