Five suspects are believed to have attacked the farm owner and his family on early Wednesday morning.
Eastern Cape police spokesperson Majola Nkohli says the farmer managed to get his firearm, killed one suspect, and left another wounded.
Other three suspects fled in a silver Toyota Avanza which was later spotted on the R75 heading towards Kariega, formerly Uitenhage.
The suspects, aged between 23 and 50, are expected to appear in the Kirkwood Magistrate’s Court on Friday.
