Johannesburg – Three Lesotho citizens have been found beaten to death on a farm in Fouriesburg, Free State.
Their bodies were found Thursday afternoon. Police suspect they were beaten to death by knotty assailants. The weapons were found at the scene.
According to Brigadier Motansi Makhele, the men did not work on the farm and it was not yet known how they accessed it and what they were doing there.
Makhele said the bodies of the three unknown men were discovered near the Joel farm in Fouriesburg. A farm employee, he said, found the bodies and called the farmer.
“Upon arriving at the farm near the Caledoonspoort port of entry, the police found two bodies on the farm and the third in the river.
“Several knobkieries suspected of having been used to kill the victims were seized from the scene.”
Makhele said a witness told police that the victims had been seen earlier that morning with three police officers, allegedly from Lesotho.
“Apparently they were tracking information about the stock theft that occurred in Lesotho. All three victims are Lesotho citizens and are estimated to be between 24 and 40 years old.
“The motive for the murder is unknown and no arrests have been made.”
Makhele said anyone with information on what might have happened is urged to contact Fouriesburg Station Commander Captain Mojabeng Mokoena at 082 446 1001 or call Crime Stop on 08600 10111, or send information to through the MySAPS app.
