Sannieshof - Members of local neighbourhood watches and the police launched a manhunt for three armed robbers on Tuesday night after a farmer was shot dead and his wife critically injured during a robbery at a farm near Sannieshof in North West.





BC Greyling was shot in the stomach and declared dead on the scene while his wife, Marlette, sustained gunshot wounds to her hand and back and was rushed to a nearby hospital.





AfriForum's Ian Cameron says a large number of people searched until late on Tuesday night for the robbers who fled the scene in Greyling's Toyota bakkie. Cameron says all efforts to apprehend the robbers were, however, unsuccessful.
