Three South African Farmers Charged with Murder of Two Women

The accused allegedly killed the women scavenging for food and fed their bodies to pigs, sparking public outrage.

Zachariah Johannes Olivier, Andrian Rudolph de Wet, and William Musora face multiple charges, including premeditated murder and attempted murder.
The women, Maria Makgatho and Locadia Ndlovu, were allegedly shot after trespassing to collect expired dairy products.
A third victim survived and alerted the authorities, leading to the discovery of the women's bodies in a pigsty.
