A former KwaZulu-Natal government official was shot dead on his farm near Pietermaritzburg for a DSTV decoder, two cellphones and a video player, police said on Sunday.
Two armed men confronted Warwick Antony Dorning, 55, and his wife on their farm Adamshurst around 8pm on Saturday, Director Phindile Radebe said in a statement.
One of them killed Dorning with a shot to the head, before they made off with the electronic equipment.
Dorning's wife was unhurt.
No arrests had been made. A spent 9mm cartridge was found on the scene.
Dorning, farmer and a doctor by profession, was a chief of staff in the KwaZulu-Natal premier's office and retired in July.
