The Greylings were attacked during a robbery on Leeuwkuil farm by Nyalimathe and his accomplices on the evening of May 16 last year. 

The men broke a window and gained entrance to the property after which they started shooting at the couple. BC was shot in the chest and died at the scene while his wife was injured, but survived the attack. 

The deceased’s mother was hiding under a table elsewhere in the house during the attack and did not sustain any injuries. The men left the property with three cellphones and a white Isuzu double cab. 

The vehicle was found abandoned later that day in Ottosdal, while the cellphones were also recovered.

Nyaliamthe’s accomplices, Tebogo Lawrence Mogolotsane (28), Joseph Zakeya (32) and Neo Frans Khubone (27), were found guilty earlier this year and sentenced to 76 years imprisonment respectively.
