Johannesburg - Free State police were on Monday still searching for five men who killed a farmer and raped his 16-year-old granddaughter near Odendaalsrus.

The 69-year-old farmer, his daughter-in-law, and her four daughters were attacked on their farm on Thursday, Captain Stephen Thakeng said.

He was shot three times and died on his way to hospital. The robbers cut his safe open and stole an undisclosed amount of cash and a revolver.

"A sixteen-year-old girl was also raped in that incident," said Thakeng.

The attackers fled the scene in the farmer's bakkie. It was found abandoned on a road leading to the Thabong informal settlement.

"A case of murder and rape was registered for further investigation," said Thakeng.

Mother******s.

And the cretins in government talk of gun control? Zizi and co: the only gun control I care for is the type where you guys give every farmer an R5 and training.

Its barbaric. Sometimes I forget what this country has come to. May he R.I.P and I hope the girl can recover emotionally

RIP. Guess he's not a soccer player, otherwise it would have been in the news. Hope his granddaughter can manage to get over this, shocking.

You know, on gun debates some liberal always sarcastically mentions that it is always the men who fight for firearm possession.

This incident proves to me why that is the case. I think most men view themselves as the defender of their families, and I cannot think what it must feel like to live with the knowledge that you could do nothing while your wife/girlfriend/daughter/granddaughter was raped.

A work colleague's father was murdered on his farm on Standerton this morning. Also nothing in the news.
