Mpumalanga police are investigating the murder of a rose farmer who was shot dead by intruders who broke into his home in the early hours of Friday morning.

"Their son heard gunshots in the house at about 1.30am on Friday and his parents screaming. When he went to their bedroom to investigate he discovered his father had been shot in the head and was dead while his mother was shot and wounded in the arm," said Captain Leonard Hlathi.

The woman was taken to hospital for treatment.

"The suspects gained entry through a window in the couple's bedroom. Nothing was stolen, so we do not know what the motive was," said Hlathi.

He urged anyone with information that can assist police in their investigation to contact Senior Superintendent Faan Steenkamp on 082-565-7656 or Captain Leonard Hlathi on 082-462-0804.
