Ernest (84), and his wife Helen, were attacked on their Farm Clearwater, Haenertsburg in Limpopo on 12th September 1999. Ernest was shot dead. Helen survived the attack, she was tied up and locked in a cupboard.

"Police spokesperson Superintendent Phuti Setati said Ernest was killed by two balaclava-clad men who entered his home at 8.30am, while he was eating breakfast with his wife, Helen. Setati said Mrs Stubbs noticed two men standing at their kitchen door and when she asked about the purpose of their visit, they pushed her inside and gagged her.
