...He recently declared of post-apharteid South Africa: "Our country is being run by criminals who murder and rob. This land was the best, and they ruined it all. We are being oppressed again. We will rise again."
AWB spokesman André Visagie said Terre'Blanche, who was apparently alone on the farm at the time of the attack, was beaten so badly "he didn't look like Eugene anymore".
Visagie said that Terre'Blanche's only security were his dogs which were "neutralised".
A 15-year-old and 21-year-old who worked for Terre'Blanche were arrested, according to police spokesperson Captain Adele Myburg.
Captain Myburgh said: "Mr Terre'Blanche's body was found on the bed with facial and head injuries. There was a panga on him and knobkerrie next to the bed.
"A 21-year-old man and 15-year-old boy were arrested and charged for his murder. The two told the police that the argument ensued because they were not paid for the work they did on the farm," she said, adding that the two would soon appear in court on charges of murder...
