North West police have confirmed that a farmer was murdered and his corpse dragged behind his bakkie outside Ottosdal on Saturday night.
"They shot him in the chest, the back, and in the head, then used [the farmer's] bakkie to drag him for about 1.2km before the bakkie rolled."
When police arrived on the scene the farmer's body was still tied to the Toyota LDV which was on the Ottosdal-Delareyville road.
One of the alleged murderers was arrested there and led police to his two accomplices.
It was suspected that some cattle may have been stolen in the attack. Cases of murder, house robbery, theft of motor vehicle, stock theft and illegal firearm possession had been opened against the three arrested men.
