Johannesburg – Police Minister Bheki Cele said police have strong leads in the murder investigation of a prominent farming couple from KwaZulu- Natal.
Glen Rafferty, 63 and his wife Via, 60 were ambushed after returning from a social outing to their Normandien farmhouse on Saturday.
Cele paid a visit to the family on Wednesday to offer his condolences as well as meet with local farmers following the murders.
The minister said he hoped police will complete investigations into the murders of Glen and Vida Rafferty soon.
“We have about seven farmers since last year that have been killed. It looks like we have made great progress in arresting those involved. The only case where have not arrested anybody in is this new case. But looks like we are following the right direction.”
The family has thanked Cele for his visit adding that their father, Glen, was known to be peace-loving in the community.
