Bothaville - A police search is continuing for one of the attackers of an elderly couple on their Vierfontein farm in the Free State.
Farmer Buks Swanepoel and his wife Baby are in the Life Anncron Clinic in Klerksdorp. Both sustained head injuries when they were attacked by two young men on their farm Sterkfontein, between Orkney and Bothaville early yesterday afternoon.
The couple’s neighbour, Kobus van der Westhuizen of the predator park Letsatsi la Africa, says farmers of the district caught one of the thugs soon after the attack.
The young attacker who was apprehended, was handed over to police and is in custody.
