Farmer shot for DSTV

A former KwaZulu-Natal government official was shot dead on his farm near Pietermaritzburg for a DSTV decoder, two cellphones and a video player, police said on Sunday.

Two armed men confronted Warwick Antony Dorning, 55, and his wife on their farm Adamshurst around 20:00 on Saturday, Director Phindile Radebe said in a statement.

One of them killed Dorning with a shot to the head, before they made off with the electronic equipment. Dorning’s wife was unhurt. No arrests had been made. A spent 9mm cartridge was found on the scene,

Dorning, farmer and a doctor by profession, was a chief of staff in the KwaZulu-Natal premier’s office and retired in July.

“The motive for the attack is unknown, but we cannot rule out robbery,” Radebe said.
