Polokwane South Africa – A British citizen who retired on a farm in Wolmaransstad in the North West was shot dead in a robbery over the weekend.<\/strong><\/p>\n David Alexander Barclay, 66, who was known as Sandy, was not armed when he went to investigate a noise at about 20:00 near the house on the farm where he was staying, reported Beeld<\/a>.<\/p>\n Barclay was sitting with friends and relatives on the veranda at the time, said the owner of the house, who didn\u2019t want to identify himself or the farm.<\/p>\n \u201cThe dogs were barking non-stop but we thought there was an impala at one of the windows. Sandy, a dear close friend of ours, took his flashlight and went to investigate.\u201d<\/p>\n Shots Fired<\/b><\/p>\n The friends suddenly heard shots being fired. The owner ran to the house and was confronted by a man with a gun demanding money.<\/p>\n \u201cI said we don\u2019t keep money here but he insisted. Then I said: \u2018Stop it in Jesus\u2019s name.\u2019 Another man arrived. He was aggressive and also asked for money. He told the other one to shoot us.<\/p>\n \u201cThen I said again: ‘Stop it in Jesus’s name.’ Then one of them suddenly said they should get away. They disappeared into the dark.\u201d<\/p>\n Barclay was found lying in a pool of blood. He had been shot in the neck. \u201cIt was so cold-blooded.\u201d<\/p>\n Barclay was apparently widely respected in South Africa as well as back home, where he used to work as an accountant.<\/p>\n His funeral would be a private event on the farm where he had lived and died, said the farm owner.<\/p>\n Police had arrested a woman and were searching for more suspects, said a spokesperson.<\/p>\n Polokwane South Africa – A British citizen who retired on a farm in Wolmaransstad in the North West was shot dead in a robbery over the weekend.
