Murders of SA whites hidden by fraudulent death certificates: http://praag.org/?p=8876 - August 10, 2013
-- According to newspaper reports recently unearthed by several rights groups in South Africa, murders of South African whites are being disguised by issuing death certificates showing that they had died of “natural causes”. At least three such cases have come to light.
In a brutal murder, auto-electrician Henry Locke (41) was shot through the heart in front of his whole family on 5 October 2009. Afterwards, the ANC-controlled state issued a death certificate stating that he had died of “natural causes”.
Commenting on the certificate, published in the Johannesburg daily Beeld on 30 October 2009, his wife Amanda Locke (43) expressed shock, saying: “On the contrary, he was shot dead right in front of us, before our very eyes.”
“They did not say anything. They just shot him dead. On the spot where he was shot, he fell and died.“How can the murder case continue if the death certificate states that he died of natural causes? “It is impossible that he could have died of natural causes. It simply cannot be.”
--- Mr. Locke was shot in the heart on the Elands game farm near Cullinan, northeast of Pretoria, in front of his daughter, Monique (13) and son Dawie (23), a paraplegic. According to Mrs. Locke, the government officials told her that the bullet hitting her husband’s heart had caused a heart attack, therefore the cause was “natural”.
----------------
When the Beeld reporter contacted Mr. Ronnie Mamoepa, the spokesman for the Department of Home Affairs, he told her that he was “certain that the information on the death certificate was wrong” and that “the mistake would definitely be corrected”. To date, there has been no news of any correction.
----------------------
After the publication of the report in Beeld, another case came to light.
-------------------
A woman writing under the name of “Elsabé” in the letters column on 30 October 2009 stated the following:
-- “In reaction to the report ‘Is being shot in the heart a “natural cause”?’ on the late Mr. Henry Locke, I wish to mention that my husband was shot on 14 July in the house where we lived on a smallholding in Raslouw in what was presumably an armed robbery. “His death certificate, too, states that he died ‘of natural causes’.“My impression is that such ‘mistakes’ are committed deliberately (to falsify statistics?) or it could be simply lazy officials.“In a previous letter to Beeld I had stated that the crime mentioned on my husband’s police docket was ‘domestic robbery’.“The report of the post-mortem is still not available, after three months.“Such mistakes are pointed out in the media, but alas – nothing happens afterwards.“We must realise that we are at the mercy of the elements.”
-------------
A third case took an even bizarre turn when a man initially thought to have been killed by a buffalo was shown to have been stabbed to death. This case was mentioned in the Beeld on 6 October 2009, so three such cases were reported within one month.
----------------
Mr. Roy Munks (65) of Dunnottar near Springs on the East Rand was wounded in the neck, damaging his artery. He was presumed to have had a heart attack due to the shock of being gouged by a buffalo.However, two suspected robbers were being questioned the previous week when they admitted during the interrogation that they had been a party to Munks’s death. The men, whose names were withheld by police, were charged with murder and held. The results of the post mortem on Munks found that he had bled to death after being gouged by the buffalo. The wounds on his body “were commensurate with the wounds possibly caused by a buffalo’s horns”. However -- The police now believe that Munks was stabbed with knives because the attackers wanted to rob his farmhouse.

None of these stories was published in the English-language media of South Africa. A thorough search of fhe names and dates returned no results.

Murders of whites hidden with false 'natural death' certificates: Henry Locke, shot through the heart April 5 2009; and Roy Munk, stabbed to death, Hoedspruit
In 2011, two cases came to light where local authorities had hidden the murders of two rural Afrikaners behind false death certificates.
1. Henry Locke, a low-income working class Afrikaner smallholder, was murdered with a shot through his heart by black killers on April 5 2009. This was witnessed by thirteen-year-old daughter Monique Locke, his wife and his paraplegic son.
When the family received the death cerficate, it stated 'natural cause". The shocked family told the Beeld daily Afrikaans newspaper that the 39-year-old electrician was shot dead on April 5 2009 with a bullet through his heart on the Elands wildlife farm by a black gang -- right in front of his wife, his daughter Monique, 13 and disabled son Dawie, 23.
The official explanation of why the 'natural cause' was entered on the death certificate was that 'he had a heart-attack when the bullet was fired through his heart”.
The shocked family demanded an explanation: 'he was shot dead right in front of our eyes. The klillers said nothing at all: they just shot him dead for no reason although we pleaded with him not to shoot him..'
The family’s only wage-earner was pleaded with by his then-13-year-old daughter and her paraplegic brother Dawie, 23, – who prayed and pleaded with their father's killers to 'not take away my mother and sister too'..
The story was originally reported on October 6 2009 by Virginia Keppler of Beeld newspaper, who reported that the murder occurred after mother Amanda, 43, had stepped outside just before the family was going to bed at 11pm to check why the dogs were barking so loudly.
The ANC officials claimed they would l ‘investigate the erroneous death certificate.’ Nothing has been heard since. However the SAPS statistics were not adjusted.

Naspers group has since then removed many of these reports from their internet sites.

2. Roy Munk, a Hoedspruit farmer, was stabbed to death on his farm. The authorities issued an inaccurate finding of "accidental death by buffalo attack" because his body was dumped in a large encampment with buffalo and the animals were driven across his body.
The authorities were forced to issue a new death-certificate for the death on July 1 2008 of the 65-year-old wildlife farmer and East Rand businessman Roy Munks, (news clipping from Rapport newspaper left,) who was found dead in a kraal on his Hoedspruit farm. Police initially reported this as an ‘accidential death due to a buffalo attack’, but forensic examinations revealed that he had been stabbed to death. Rapport newspaper quoted police as blaming the farmer for his ownn death, stating he’d kept his wildlife herd in camps which were too small for them. However, a second court-hearing subsequently ruled that the initial ruling by the local inquest court that Munks had been killed by a buffalo on his Hoedspruit farm was totally inaccurate. A few weeks after this ruling, two armed attackers were arrested while breaking into a nearby house – and ‘spoke out of turn” during questioning by police’ admitting to Munks’ violent death. They were charged with his murder. The forensic traces of the stabbing were not ddiscovered by a post-mortem examination of the farmer’s body because the wild-life herd was driven across his body after the murder.
