Brief overview:
John (79), a Sussex cattle stud farmer living in Nqanqarhu (McClear) in the Eastern Cape, on his Farm Highfield, was shot dead, on 30th May 2021, at his security gate, when three armed perpetrators could not gain access to the house. His wife was unharmed.
Police spokesperson Brig. Police spokesperson Tembinkosi Kinana said it appeared three unknown men had entered the house through a window.
