Again I have had to update the figure representing the total number of white South African farmers murdered since the end of Apartheid in 1994 which I keep at my blog.  That figure now stands at 3,071 and includes the double murder of 53 year old farmer Willem Le Roux and his 50 year old wife Julie, which occurred last week. Mr and Mrs Le Roux were killed at their farm in Plettenberg Bay, Western Cape .

Both of them had sustained bullet wounds to the forehead and their hands were tied behind their backs.

In other news from the Rainbow Nation, a couple were attacked by two men on a farm near Fouriesburg in the Free State.

The 81 year old farmer and his wife were watching television when the attackers stormed in through a back door and demanded firearms & jewellery. The elderly female was raped and is being treated at Hoogland Medi-Clinic in Bethlehem Mophiring. Police are looking for the men between approximately 30 & 50 years of age who fled in a stolen white Citroen.

As we see the South African media is equally descriptive as ours when it comes to suplying the details of suspects.
