Policemen shocked by vicious slaying of young municipal security guard
The brutal murder of Mr Piet Thomo whose body was found in the middle of a gravel road off the N11 last Monday, shocked even hardened police members.
Mr Thomo had been stabbed so viciously that his ears were only connected to his body by thin pieces of flesh.
When the multiple stab wounds inflicted didn’t kill him, his murderers drove over his body in the middle of the road and sped off.

Mr Thomo was 25 years old and moved to Middelburg two months ago where he worked as security guard at the municipal magazine.
