_They were beaten to death, then put in their sleeping bags and thrown into a river infested with predators by a gang who were enraged at them for taking the rare seeds from South African nature reserves._
Hmmm. I’m not _wholly_ convinced that this was the killers’ motivation.
Killed for picking seeds, what is the world coming too.

The headline makes it sound like the BBC threw them to crocodiles
In typical mirror fashion the top of the article says it was over seeds, and the bottom says what it was actually about, stealing a car and £37,000.
I see they’ve stopped with letters and are now attacking people who don’t pay the TV licence…
I can’t be the only one who read this headline and interpreted it as the BBC had murdered them and fed them to crocodiles upon first glance.
Oh my word! The BBC are getting tough on bad interviews👀

I read ‘in memory of’ that after the Gardeners World bit, I thought that was weird.
Couldn’t BBC just have said goodbye? didn’t need to end the interview like that
Back at the fall of the racist white minority rule my school was suddenly full of white south African kids. I wasn’t aware why back then. Now I know. Just look at the Oscar Pistortus case people live in armed private residences as it’s not a very safe country.
I’m assuming that this article has been edited at some point?
Everyone is talking about the motive of the killing being rare seeds then cash, but I don’t see any reference to the seeds being the motive.
I remember when they were on gardeners world. It’s so sad they were killed
South Africa is a dumpster fire. We’re looking at a collapsed nation and destroyed society.
Puts me in mind of that Spitting Image song about South Africa.
I’d heard the BBC was going down hill. But now they’re murdering people to ensure they don’t give interviews to their rivals?
/S (obviously)
I’ll never go to South Africa or South America in my life.
Typical woke BBC. To suggest the motivation was money would be racist.
Wow how did I know it was South Africa before even reading the article.
Grew up in South Africa. Moved away 20 years ago. Now that no immediate family left there, i will probably never return.
Wonderful country turned to shit.
Though now the UK ia looking less and less like somewhere i want to live….
Wow, that is harsh. Remind me never to give N interview to the BBC! /s
