The Schutte brothers, farm managers on the Estate, followed the men to the river where one of them took out the pistol and fired shots. Maree said the heavily wounded Louis tried in vain to save his brother's life. The attackers fled into nabouring Lesotho.
Miss Roline Pretorius, a long time friend of the Schutte brothers and their family, said it is a tremendous shock for the whole community. Sean graduated Agricultural High School in Jacobsdal. "He was at his happiest on a horse. He was mad about outdoor living and his two children."

Please note that there is a documentary DVD made about the genocide of Boer farmers and generally the whites. It is called "War of the Flea" and it was made by Rian van der Walt.
