Gustav Rappard—a 76-year-old farmer— was brutally murdered after he was overpowered by six armed farm attackers on Sunday morning.  

According to police, the report stated that at about 11:00 am, Gustav Rappard and his wife, Elma Rappard, were in their house at a farm when they heard the sound of a hooter at the gate.  

Gustav went outside to check, and his wife reported that she observed six men who indicated that they were there to buy grass bales.

The elderly man lost his life after agreeing to sell animal feed to them, even though he was initially reluctant because it was Sunday. 

The attackers allegedly strangled and killed Gustav Rappard, then went into the house where they tied up his wife and ransacked the house. 

His body was later found in a barn.

Police, however, has launched an investigation into the brutal incident. But the suspects are still at large.
