The Freedom Front Plus has identified the elderly couple who was brutally murdered on a farm near Glen in the Free State.

A mahunt is currently underway to track down the suspects who reportedly killed 76-year-old Christo Morrison and his 73-year-old wife Christa on Friday.

The murder was brutal as the body of Christo was found 300 meters away from the farmhouse with open wounds to his upper body while his wife's body was found in a septic tank.

Police spokesperson, Sergeant Mahlomola Kareli said a concerned neighbour contacted the police when he could not reach the couple on their cell phones on Saturday.

He said on arrival at the farm, police discovered that the doors to the house were left open, covered in blood and ransacked.

Tools and electronic equipment were stolen from the house before the killers fled in the couple's Toyota Land Cruiser.

The vehicle was found burnt out in Winnie Mandela, formerly known as Brandfort.

Provincial leader for the FF Plus in the Free State Jan van Niekerk says the attack was brutal and needless.

No arrests have been made.
