The case against Anelle de Bruin (46), the wife of a well-known Eastern Cape farmer, who is accused of planning to kill him in a fictitious “farm attack”, was postponed by the Aliwal North magistrate’s court.

Anelle de Bruin, a 46-year-old woman, has been arrested for plotting to kill her husband, who is a farmer. She allegedly wanted it to look like a farm attack.

She was arrested on January 9 and later released on bail of R2,000. It has been revealed that she hired a hitman and paid him because she wanted to inherit R50 million.

According to police investigations, the woman had already handed the middleman a down payment and promised to pay the remainder after the murder was executed and insurance payouts were made.

She was allegedly recorded instructing that after shooting her husband at their farm, the hitmen must shoot the family’s dogs and vehicle tyres to make it look like a “farm attack”.

De Bruin had allegedly also informed the middleman of how long neighbouring farmers would take to respond to the attack.

She is set to appear in court again on April 23.
