Afrikaner farmer Douw Brummer, 50, executed, farm Goedgedacht, Dwaalboom near Botswana border

The corpse of fifty-year-old single farmer Douw Brummer was left for eight hours on the lawn of his homestead after he was shot dead execution-style: with a shot through the back of his head on Tuesday-night Oct 11 2011.

Police spokeswoman ltcol Ronel Otto said his workers discovered his body at 6am Wednesday-morning. His farm is located near the Botswana border. He was divorced and childless, living alone.

The Transvaal Agricultural Union security representative Pieter Roets said from all the traces it appeared as if the killers were laying in ambush waiting for Brummer.
"It was cold-blooded murder,' he said. Brummer had had two breakins at his farms - and also gave a picture of a specific man to his neighbours and said that 'if anything happened to him, this would be the man responsible'.

The photograph was shown to the investigating police.
