Body of farmer’s wife found

The body of a farmer’s wife, presumed missing, was found in the burnt out farm house yesterday, Limpopo police said.

Ina Lotters, 64, was presumed missing on Sunday after the body of her husband, Robbie Lotters, 69, was discovered in front of their house that had caught alight. Otto said neighbours noticed the fire at the Lotters’ farm and went to investigate. They found the farmer lying dead outside the house.

“Mrs Lotters’ burnt body was found in the house by investigators where a section of the roof had collapsed on her. Postmortems will be conducted to determine what happened. No arrests have been made,” said spokesperson Ronel Otto.
