Afrikaner teacher found murdered: dragged 2km behind his car, Five Morgan, Dennilton, Limpopo
2011-09-25 - An Afrikaner man whose identity is known, but whose name has not yet been released, was found murdered on a dirt-road at Five Morgan, Dennilton in Limpopo on Sunday-afternoon, Sept 25 2011. The 47-year-old man was clearly tortured to death by being dragged behind his car: it was found abandoned two kilometres down the road: the dead man’s trousers were tied around his neck. A passerby had made the horrific discovery at 7am, said SAPF spokesman lt. kol. Mohale Ramatseba. The police does not know the 'motive for the murder' they said although they implied robbery by saying that the 'car radio was robbed'. The car itself however clearly was not. Nobody was arrested. http://afrikaans.news24.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Vermoorde-onderwyser-se-lyk-in-pad-gevind-20110925
