An elderly farmer has been murdered on his farm Bassonsberg in the Cookhouse Area.
Police have named him as Jonathan Stefanus Troskie.
Police captain Stefanie Smith says Troskie's body was discovered by his son at about ten o'clock last night.
The deceased wife was assaulted during the attack and was taken to the Andries Vosloo Hospital for treatment.
She was transferred to a hospital in Port Elizabeth on Friday morning.
Cluster Commander, Brigadier Madoda Zamkana, condemned the murder and attack on Troskie's wife and said Police would leave no stone unturned in bringing the perpetrators to justice.
The suspects fled with several firearms in the couple's Toyota Camry.
Both the vehicle and fire arms were abandoned by the suspects and were found by police not far from the crime scene.
