Farmers Accused of Killing Women, Feeding Bodies to Pigs

Three men in South Africa are facing charges of premeditated murder for allegedly killing two women and disposing of their bodies by feeding them to pigs on their farm. The suspects appeared in court Tuesday in Limpopo, in a case that has shocked the nation. Authorities want them held without bail until their trial ends.

Farm owner Zachariah Johannes Olivier, supervisor Andrian Rudolph de Wet, and employee William Musora are also charged with counts of attempted murder and possession of an unlicensed firearm. Musora additionally faces charges for illegal immigration. The victims, Locadia Ndlovu and Maria Makgatho, allegedly learned a dairy company had discarded potentially expired products at the farm and were trespassing in hopes of collecting some when they were shot and killed. A man who was with them was injured but survived and alerted police, who found human remains in a pigsty. The case proceedings will continue in October.
