A 60-year-old man died on Saturday May 30, 2015 when he was attacked in the early hours of the morning on a smallholding near Brits in the North West.
Maj. Pelonomi Makau, a police spokesman, told Maroela Media, Andries Snyman was attacked by three men in his house at about 04:00. Snyman’s son said he was in his room when he heard a noise in the house. He came out of his room and saw his father was involved in a scuffle with three men.
The men were armed with a pistol and knives.
When the men saw the son, they fled. Snyman was stabbed three times with a knife in the chest and died at the scene. A cell phone was stolen.
According to Makau the attack didn’t occur in the main house on the smallholding, but in a smaller house some distance away. The suspects allegedly broke down a door to gain access to the house. Snyman was an employee at the smallholding.
“No suspects have been arrested to date. A case of murder is being investigated, “said Makau.
