Pieter Snyman

Pieter Snyman (1952 – 2009)

Brief overview:

Pieter (57), was ambushed after doing his cattle rounds, and slashed with a panga, and bled to death. The invasion on the farm lasted six hours. The attackers tied his wife, Jeanine, and two daughters to his body and dragged them into the bathroom, while they ransacked the house. When the attackers finally left in the early hours of the morning, Jeanine managed to untie herself and alert the local farm watch. Patrol farm watch member Japie can der Goot said, “It was horrendous, even more horrendous was the fact that the police were too scared to enter the house. The farm watch had to secure the scene.”
