In a farm attack that occurred in the Eastern Transvaal region at least one attacker died during a failed murder spree. The black attackers where were armed with pangas and firearms.
The two elderly victims were powerless against the attackers, but Tommy Brown, who was visiting with his parents that night, shot at least one attacker, who later died about 150 meters away from the home.
The boy reacted only after being wounded by an attacker himself, after which an over and over shooting was started.
The thugs were still trying to take the wounded comrade with them while fleeing on foot, but had to abandon their attempt when it was discovered that he had been fatally wounded.
The three victims of the attack were then quickly taken to the hospital to receive urgent treatment.
