The body of a 62-year-old farmer who was murdered was found next to his home, but nothing had been taken, Eastern Cape police said on Wednesday.
The company he worked for was looking for him on Tuesday morning and checked the tracker of the company vehicle to find his location, said Captain Siphokazi Mawisa.
"It was discovered that the vehicle was standing still."

"The circumstances surrounding the murder are still unclear and are under investigation," said Mawisa.
