Horrifying videos, apparently taken by farmer Fritz “Majeke” Joubert, 45, give some inkling into what drove him into a frenzy of violence in which he beat his sangoma trainer, Anele Hoyana, 40, to death with the butt of a rifle.
She said police were investigating a case of murder and kidnapping, and the Independent Police Investigative Directorate was investigating the killing of Joubert separately.
“W/O Hendrick Odendaal, from Bluewater police, was the first person to arrive on the scene. He entered the residence and the farm owner allegedly said to him that “nobody is going to leave the farm premises today”. At that stage the farm owner had taken the friends' children hostage and locked them in the bathroom,” she said.
